I walked in on my young teenage daughters watching something called “Queen Bees” and blocked that show immediately. I told them their IQ just went down a point for every minute watching that garbage. And one of the girls was 20 years old and was quite proud of herself for dating a 40 year old billionnaire, ‘cause he, like, bought her stuff and stuff.
I asked my daughters if they knew the other word for that. They finally begrudgingly acknowledged it was “prostitute”.
I have a long way to go until they are grown and a whole society to override. I just pray they listen.
While I heartily agree with his sentiments, I wish he’s learn to review his facts.
Ted Kaczynski’s shack was not in “Light a Fart, Wyoming.” It was in “Light a Fart, Montana.”
“nuttier than a squirrel turd”
will tuck that one away for future use ;)
Not far from Take a Leak, Utah, as I recall.
Autumn, its parents like you and my sister that make me think that there is hope for the next generation. You did the right thing.
You may think they're not listening, or think you're 'uncool', but they're hearing, and will absorb much more than you think.
Good article. I’ve recently been disgusted by the never-ending monster that is Katy Perry’s PR Machine. She has a song called “I Kissed A Girl” and my preteen daughters asked me what it means. Needless to say I explained as best I could, but I am certainly glad they feel they can *ask* me about this stuff.
Back to Katy. “I kissed a girl and I liked it, taste of her cherry Chap Stick. I kissed a girl just to try it. Hope my boyfriend don’t mind it.” (eyeroll) Not only is it stupid, but Jill Sobule already did this. Regardless, this woman is EVERYWHERE. Her publicists must take no-doz round the clock. She looks like a twin of Zooey Deschanel but dresses worse than an 8-year-old. Beware out there.
I'm getting closer and closer to cancelling my cable TV period. There is so much cursing, sexuality, and violence on there that I'm down to watching MAYBE 6 channels out of 200.
Good for you. They are assaulted with this coarsening of womanhood everywhere they turn as if it’s a good thing. There are barely any appropriate clothes in the stores for teenage girls anymore. You’ve got to talk, talk, talk and hope it sinks in. Another good gambit is to keep them so involved and busy with wholesome activities they don’t have time to watch tv. At least that worked at my house.
Wasn’t the song “Will You Love Me Tomorrow” by The Shirelles, a song about how a girl is about to have sex with her boyfriend and she’s asking the question will he be love with her in the morning?
Yeah my brother has probably become one of those males. He discovered girls young and left everything in dust. He’s usually good, but when you get him with another guy or his girlfriends and I swear he loses 20 IQ points. But if I heard a sniff about him treating a girl like in number 3 he better run, cause I’m the fastest in my family and I have no problem with a good fight :D. Plus he can’t snowball me as easily as my Mom.
I have to say though, I don't approve of her sister having a baby as a teenager, at least she didn't take the easy way out and go get an abortion like her peers and now her and the father are engaged and are going to raise the baby the right way.
Nowadays, the songs don't even bother asking that question, because it's presumed the girls don't even care. That's the fruit of the feminist push for the 'empowerment' of women. Girls are told that to be strong, they have to be the initiators of sexual activity, not just react to the boys. They are NEVER told that their true power lies in their ability to say "NO", and keep their self-respect.
Yeah, my blocked channels are coming to be higher than the watched channels. MTV is an absolute no-no.
If there is a White girl dancer/singer, you can almost bet money there will be three male dancers with at least two of them being black.
Well, it used to be “Why buy the cow if you can get the milk for free?”
Now it’s, “Why buy the pig if all you want is a little sausage?”
It’s not just the attitudes of women that have slipped. The Idiocracy is here.
Remind them that once they’ve sold out, regardless of the price of the sale, all future discussions will be about price, not virtue.
