Doug Giles lost me with his advocacy of prison rape for the junior-high boys involved in the bus-monitor bullying episode. I understand it’s his Media Shtick and all, but for a person who claims to be a minister to sink that low ...
To me, that makes him part of the problem, not part of the solution.
This guy’s a minister? Nice language, Rev!
I’m sure he was joking. Although there is a time and a place for sick jokes...
I didn’t care much for his “Baby Jesus” reference. I see it used a lot by people making fun of Christians.
Seems a good minister of the Lord would hold Jesus in higher regard than to reference Jesus this way.
We took a very different approach in my house. My daughter sees, by example, how my husband treats me: with love, tenderness, loyalty, honor, and respect. I, as her mother, instruct her on how a woman should be treated.
From a very early age, she has learned how a loving man should behave. She has learned that if he says ugly things to her, treats her disrepectfully, pushes her for sex, he's not for her. She also knows exactly what to do if a man ever raises a hand to her: kick him to the curb. She has also learned to be upfront, to not toy with the emotions of those she loves.
I have often praised my husband's judgment infront of her, and informed her to trust Dad's opinion.
To ensure my sons are not part of the problem, they have received similar instructions.
I didn't have to beat my children over the head with rules: I used a lot of examples as (forgive the term) "teaching moments." It's easy nowadays to point of the foolishness and misery that comes from sex outside of marriage and God's law; they see first hand the love and joy that comes from my husband and I building a life together inside of God's law.
And if that doesn't work, we have an arsenal, a plot of land, and shovels as a back up.

Not having read his opinions on this subject, I did a search under "Doug Giles bus monitor". The reference I found to prison rape was "these little devils would have justly been hauled to juvey court facing a five-year lockdown and jail sex." I could be wrong, but I don't read that as advocacy of the practice, merely a statement that it is a fact of life.
