God Made Girls.

Has anyone heard the song "God made girls" by Rae Lynn? While I was poking around on YouTube trying to relieve some boredom, I came across it. I found it to be a very cute and pretty song, however I noticed A LOT of people disagreed with me. Their objections?

The song was "sexist".

Yep, all those Feminists were screaming; "sexist" because the song promotes that women were "only created to serve men."

Give me a freaking break. The only thing I saw wrong was the music video. All the girls were way too skimpily dressed. Here you can listen to the song and then continue reading if you want:

So, I think you've guessed by now that I don't believe that this song is sexist, but i'll explain why. I'll break it down bit by bit. I think it's purpose is to explain a lot of ways how girls are (and should be!)

"Somebody's gotta wear a pretty skirt, Somebody's gotta be the one to flirt,somebody gotta wanna hold his hand so God made girls" Yes, someone has to wear pretty frilly clothes with glitter and sparkle. And we do. Someone has to think he's cute and want to hold the hand of the man we are in love with. And we do. I see nothing wrong with that.

"Somebody's gotta make 'em get dressed up, Somebody's gotta give 'em a reason to wash that truck, Somebody gotta teach 'em how to dance so God made girls."  Guys dress better when they're around girls. No girl wants to see a guy who looks like a slob right? And that truck has to look nice when the guy goes to pick up his girl for a date right? And some guys...can't dance. So, the girl can teach them.

"He needed something soft and loud and sweet and proud, But tough enough to break a heart, Something beautiful and breakable that lights up in the dark "  That sounds like a nice description of a girl right there to me. I know girls who are really loud, and sweet, and beautiful. They're tough enough to break a heart, but soft enough to get their hearts broken.

"And God made girls (For singing in your front seat), God made girls (For dancin' to their own beat), He stood back and told the boys I'm bout to rock your world, And God made girls."  I don't know about some of you, but I sing loud in the car with friends...and in my room...and the shower. I don't dance but I have a friend who does. And, God told Adam he would make him a helper suitable for him. Someone....to rock his world. :)

"Somebody's gotta be the one to cry, Somebody's gotta let him drive, give him a reason, To hold that door so God made girls." Ok, we all know most guys don't cry. But girls do. And maybe she'll show her guy its ok to shed a tear or two. And what is so bad about a guy holding a door for us? Are we perfectly capable of opening a door? Of course we are! But when a guy holds a door for a girl, it shows he's respectful and polite. And I rather like the idea of a guy driving me all over the place, because currently, I hate driving. :)

"Somebody's gotta put up a fight, Make him wait on a Saturday night, To walk downstairs and blow his mind, So God made girls" Yep, I can be feisty when I want to. And we all know guys complain about how girls take to long to do....everything. And all those sweet movies where the girl comes downstairs looking gorgeous and makes him drool? Adorable.

"Someone that can wake him up and call his bluff, And drag his butt to church, someone that is hard to handle, Somethin' fragile to hold him when he hurts". And sadly there are some guys who have to be woken up and drug to church. Hopefully they're working on that one.

My take on the song? We complete guys. The relationship between a guy and a girl is priceless and something God made special. Just because she's not depicting women walking around with gear like Rambo doesn't mean she's being sexist.

I guess I have one thing to say to the Feminists out there who are hating this song: Pull up your big girl pants and quit your whining.
