LOL
If you come to visit unannounced, I'll greet you with a shotgun.
Those pages are hidden from the general public; I've just been sharing them with family and friends (although of course nothing is truly "private" on the internet).
I'm being just a bit playful with you in the first sentence.... On the other hand, I am very eager to defend my family and do away with anyone who'd do any harm to any of them. Not "willing"; "eager."
You've hit on another aspect of raising children that is so key. This is the village that it takes to raise a child--the church and the neighborhood (NOT the state). I raised a daughter who is now 19 without her father (his choice). She is very conservative and a darling--well most of the time. We lived for a number of years in a neighborhood where we were the only single-parent family and we were the only family not to have problems with at least one child. I got a tremendous amount of support from our church and a neighbor adapted herself as a grandparent. We have done just fine, although it has indeed left an emotional hole in my daughter (we've talked through the years about the need to forgive those who hurt us). But I told her growing up that no one has a perfect life and that doesn't give anyone an excuse to do wrong. She needed to take responsibility for her life as it was and she has. Fathers are immensely important, but NOT having one is no excuse for turning out bad.
Not everyone has such a social circle. I would prefer more guys to be that way myself.
So, knowing what we do about boys (that they are very visually motivated), what do you call it when a girl dresses so provoctively?
I call it advertising. "Here it is boys, come and get it"
Does that mean that the girl is more to blame than the boy. No. It does however show that the feminazis have hurt her more than they've helped her.
Women marry for security. Men marry for sex. Or at least that's how it used to be. Now men can get the sex without having to be married so why bother providing security. When the current girlfriend gets worn out or boring dump her and get a new one. The feminazis have raised a whole generation of women willing to be used and discarded.
It's become very hard (in most areas) to find good women anymore. My daughter will be one. And my sons (if I have any) will be raised to be good men
I forgot one other advantage to not watching TV.
The Christmas lists were always short and reasonable. No requests for expensive junk toys.
Shalom.
What do you think about a society that teaches men to go for the girls that ADVERTIZE? What a weird way to put it. Good women aren't the only things in short supply.
"Truly private"? "Hidden from the general public"?
You just posted the info to one of the most popular sites on the planet. Currently frequented by denizens of the scumbag left. I've got three daughters of my own. I keep everything about them genuinely private. You might want to consider doing the same,
You think it's that bad? Who's going to look up his info? What about freepers who put their own names on FR?
As for freepers using their own names, the only ones I can think of have something to sell (not literally but along the lines of op/ed sites with which they are affiliated.)
I see your point.
LOL!!!!
Though, there are a lot of fun things you can do by yourself.
Just ask Betty Dodson.
-good times, G.J.P.(Jr.)
hehehehehehe
On a personal note, my own daughter, who is 10 recently had heart surgery. Afterwords, when we were discussing when she could return to various activities, the first question out of her mouth was, "How long until I can ride on the back of my Daddy's Harley?" I have a feeling she's not going to be a pushover for boys at all.
It seems to me that we've had this discussion before and I know that the double standard is a real sore point with you.
I'll agree that that double standard exists and is unfair. But it's there and we have to deal with it. That said, however, boys and girls are different (thank you Lord) and respond differently to different stimuli and need to be treated differently in some circumstances
Boys respond very well to visual stimuli while girls are more responsive to touch. Therefore it's in everyone's best interest for the girls to dress more modestly than they do now and for the boys to keep their hands to themselves.
I do not believe that society "teaches" boys to go after the girls who advertise. I believe that that is just part of our fallen nature. Boys will take the easy lay unless something else gets in the way. When society is "doing it's job", social mores will get in the way. Girls who advertise by dressing immodestly will be looked at as tramps or worse (at least that will be the trained internal impression left on the boys) and the boys will seek a better class of women to associate with (because the boys themselves would be looked down upon for running with tramps).
At the same time the boys would be perfect gentlemen to all people, even the girls who advertise. Of course this is impossible without a strong Christian society.
Man is a fallen creation. We naturally seek to do evil and to please ourselves. To do otherwise is unnatural but it is the only way that society can truly thrive. Again only a Christian society can really thrive.
Last night I overheard a perfect example of the damage the feminazis have done to this country. I was watching my seventh grade niece play volleyball and in the row ahead of us was a girl (7th or 8th grade) talking to a bunch of guys. What she said was something along the lines of "I already made out with two people before I got here tonight". Pure advertising. What she was really saying (at least what the boys were hearing) was "I'm really easy and I'm looking to get laid". Now it's tough for a guy to turn down an invitation like that under the best of conditions but when he is a teen boy, probably doesn't know Jesus as his Savior, has few positive role models as to what a real man is, and has hormones running rampant, it's nearly impossible.
So, are the boys at fault for taking her up on her offer or is she at fault for making it in the first place? I'll answer that for you. She's at fault for making the offer and they are at fault for accepting. However, it's far easier for her to eliminate the problem entirely by not making the offer at all.
It seems to me that we've had this discussion before and I know that the double standard is a real sore point with you
*** Yes it is, esp. since I'm a modest single female who notices these things. I know that life isn't fair *lol* but oh well I'll say it anyway. Life isn't fair :-) and women are held to a much higher standard than men. I do not like giving men the wrong impression so I dress accordingly. However, this society is all about servicing the sexual needs of men so even if a girl doesn't want to 'advertize' she almost has to if she doesn't want to stay a spinster. I don't dress provacatively as I wasn't raised that way.
