What Do You Think? Morally Right or Wrong??

Cardi B - Up / WAP feat. Megan Thee Stallion (Live from the 63rd GRAMMYs ®️ 2021)

Right now this video is trending on YouTube as #2, but should it be trending??

Our world has changed so much in the course of 20 years. We have seen smart phones be invented and taken to an all new level. We have seen flat screen TV's become the size of an entire wall. If we want, we could have a movie theater in our own home. The TV's are just that big.

20 years ago, technology was just starting to become one of the largest advances in our history, but what has that done to our morals? Have we lost our sense of right from wrong.

I grew up in a home that taught that porn, sex, stripping, drunkenness, one-night stands, exec. were not what life was about. As I have grown up and am living as a 23 year old I no longer see those moral views anymore. What has our world come to?

You may like what happens in every day life, and that is good for you, but not for me. This video, is not something I would want to be trending. Cardi B is a great singer, but why does she have to dress with such little clothing and dance like a stripper for all to see? Shouldn't that stay behind the doors of a stripe club like it used to? When did it become right for wives husband's to think it is normal to see that on TV or online? I don't know about you, but if I had a boyfriend or husband, I would not want him watching that.

What I have been taught all my life, seems to be non-existent now. I do not believe the world should be able to see her butt shake like that or the words that were sang. It is portraying sex and that it is okay for a woman to have meaningless sex. While that might be true for a lot of women, what about the girls that want a relationship, but look up to Cardi B and decide to go out and have sex with anyone she wants. What if she is just in high school and gets an STD or worse from doing things her role model does. Is that something we should want? I don't think so.

What about the strong women that fight everyday for what they want, but want a real relationship? Those women are starting to be few and far between, because of what is portrayed in music videos like this. Did you know, I have not had a relationship for 3 years because every single guy I have gone on a date with or met on online just wanted sex from me? That is not something I want, but they see no problem of showing or telling me that's all they want from me. It makes me feel like that is all I am good for and it hurts. I am a good person, but does that doesn't seem to matter to most people anymore.

Look how easy it is to type or say the word sex now. I used to shy away from the word. It made me uncomfortable, but now it is in my everyday vocabulary. Do you see this as wrong? I sure do. I do not care what most people say, I do not believe it is okay to portray sex like this. Sex is supposed to mean something. It is supposed to be between two people that love each other.

Am I crazy for still thinking this way? It's not like I am old and have old values, I believe I have certain morals, that I hope some people still go by. If you have a daughter or a son, would you want them watching this?

I do not get why this is something people would want to watch. To me, it is a from of porn, so for the guys that like that, I guess this is good for them, but not for everyone else. This should not be available for all to see.
