That would be her point.

Exactly and I think girls need to hear that. I remember being taught in a youth class when I was about 13 that girls shouldn't put their hand on a guys leg while they are sitting in church.

I was CLUELESS......I thought that would show you cared, but didn't have a clue what it DID to a guy. Girls need to know this stuff and we can think all day long that they do and MANY, MANY do already know this stuff, but there are some that don't.

Yes, they do need to hear it. Janice was using "stupid" in the way that we, as women, know that men can be - trade it for one moment of nothing. That is stupid.

That's the way I took it. Maybe if some other youth groups could hear this and "get it" there could be less provocative dressing and youth pregnancies.

And what she says about turning 45 and still using that "power" is sad, but there are so many cases of that too. Women that don't respect themselves and "use" their bodies to get what they think they want.

Boys at that age don't have the maturity and what she is saying is right on.

Do some here think she is preaching that girls need to use that power? I didn't get that from that at all.

I got out of it what you did. And I thought it was a great and timely message for a fifteen year old girl to hear.

Absolutely!

I don't know what you mean by this.

I'm sure it would help some, but you always have some that it won't. At least you can say you tried.

Right, but to some degree that flirtatious/manipulating power is still fun in a marriage.

I can't think it's all bad.

The key here is within a marriage!

JS needs to hold another session for the married ladies and tell them to use their fun side to keep things exciting in their marriages!

However, I don't like the word "power" used in this case - - I don't like muniplitive women or woman that use sex or their appeal to munipilate men (and men really never grow out of this stage - sex always makes them like jello).
