Can you imagine trying to catch the bouquet with those tiny arms? No wonder they died out

Thank you for writing this. I love Little Women as a book but I needed this today mostly because my boyfriend tried me the other night by insisting that makeup artists, hairdressers, and interior designers have no use in the world and are vapid and “contribute to patriarchy” (interior design oppresses women???).…

So glad to see these girls standing up for themselves and each other.

I hate to break it to you, but it’s not just the religious zealots. I live in a coastal suburb of Los Angeles that is usually at least partially progressive. Whenever two or more moms from my kids’ middle and high schools are gathered, the topic turns to how slutty the girls dress. These aren’t baby boomers, they’re…

Heaven. I could actually go to a crowded area without being dry humped.

Gee, I wonder what that right hand is doing...

I did not know there was a third hole for a tampon until i was 17 and i literally found it on accident, because it was inappropriate to discuss how a woman’s body worked. i couldn’t figure out how to use one properly and fully was just laying it in there like a hot dog in a bun...

So catholics have now become like all of the other “extreme/modesty” religions because “boys and men are that powerless to their urges” and women need to cover themselves. That is a cop out. 

Absolutely! I also say we put curfews on men and boys. They shouldn’t be out after dark, only women and girls can be, otherwise they will face fines and jail time. Can you imagine what that would be like?

Back in my day, “modesty ponchos” were just called condoms. 

Wow. Gouge out your eyes? LMFAO.

Agree. I am responsible for controlling my urge to drink mass quantities of wine, to watch my diet by not eating a gallon of ice cream for dinner, to not tell my boss to fuck off because and a million other things. So, if I can do all this, these little fuckers can learn too.  Damnit.

Also this.........

noooo, stop. that’s the new testament. that’s the part where jesus said some relatively sane shit about not being a dickbag. christians don’t like that part, they like the old one where they get to stone women for being whores and hate crime the gays.

This is my argument as well. If men can’t “control themselves”. Not only in terms of sexual harassment and abuse of women, but in terms of generalized violence (they commit 90% of violent crimes), then why should they be given power and control? They obviously can’t be trusted to conduct themselves properly.

Here’s a mock up the original plans for the “modesty poncho”

If boys and men are that powerless to their urges, then they shouldn't be allowed in public, including school. After all, if a hemline puts them on a direct path to Satan, they're not going to learn anything in school anyway. Quarantine them until they stop sexualizing people.

Hey, Christian schools, want to avoid this kind of controversy? Instead of rambling on about how long a girl’s hemline has to be before it doesn’t make Jesus cry, why not preach to the boys about what the good Lord told them to do in these situations?

“If God had wanted you to SEE he’d have fixed yer EYES!”

Also, it’s man, not male. When it comes to humans, “male” and “female” are adjectives, not nouns.
