There was a protest last week by women who felt that the law that only allows men to walk around in public with their shirts off is sexist. The protest consisted of women holding placards while topless to get their message across. Have you noticed how often women protesters use their naked bodies to draw attention to their cause in the hopes of getting their points across? (No pun intended.)

PETA has used ads showing naked women in cages denouncing the plight of caged animals. It usually comes with some inspired message like, “I would rather be naked than wear fur.”

These protests always seem to operate under the preconception that the world is a male-dominated social structure that is elitist, sexist and discounting of anyone else. Now, there is no question that men rule the world. When it comes to who is in leadership for the most part, the male gender tends to have a near monopoly on public policy, laws and social norms.

By far men have been the ones who have created the most important documents, from the Bible to the US Constitution; from the Mayflower compact to 99% of all inventions and new ideas. This doesn’t mean women have not contributed immense value in society and in science and literature. No one disputes that, nor would the world be as advanced as it has become without the insight, understanding and abilities of women throughout the ages.

This isn’t an observation of which gender is more important or necessary in completing or seeking to complete God’s redemptive process on the earth. I am well aware of my shortcomings and am grateful that women exist to give me a feminine perspective on life. God even said man was not complete until woman was created, and then and only then did God say it “is very good.”

But I do want to make women aware of one thing. I don’t care how noble your cause or how truthful your perspective may be, if you really care about your issue, let me give you a tip from a man's perspective. If you say or do anything while you are naked, men aren’t listening. What we are doing is staring at your boobs.

Any in-depth analysis or revelation you may have is going to be lost on us, as your nudeness is going to take precedence over your passion. Men love to look at naked women, and that is why the porn industry is a multi-billion dollar business that caters to men’s lust. The industry is aimed at men and our fallen nature, setup to lure us into the sweetness of forbidden fruit. Women know this, and out of one side of their mouth demand respect for their brains, while whipping out their Tata’s to make their point.

Any and all true advancement in women’s issues came out of noble women who demanded respect by their rational and reasonable dialogue, not from a halter top. So in the future, let me speak for all men when I say that when you parade around au naturel, I promise you we ain’t listening, just looking.
