Kim in Appalachia Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I swear "homeschool convention" is now code for "puritan revival" with ole Scottie Brown and Geoffrey Botkin stting around bemoaning the fact that our corrupt government won't allow them to burn a tatooed female at the stake. DP and company will of course be there in period garb to re-enact the Salem Witch Trials. Sigh...... :smilielol5: :smilielol5: :rofl: With that amusing thought, I'm heading out for a run, but not in yoga pants, it's too hot.

Hikin' Mama Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Oh yes, what fun!!!! The Happy Trampy Mommy Club! Good times, good times. As for the topic, I went off on a modesty police trooper the other day when she told me she was livid with a woman at her husband's place of work. He is the day manager of the milk parlor at an organic dairy. The female in qjestion is a woman who milks. The barn is hot, the work is hard. She wore a sleeveless wesern shirt to work. Modesty trooper was having a fit because her poor hubby could hardly work because of this trollop's (her word, not mine) clothing choice. She said her husband was so distracted that he made some errors in his paperwork and got in trouble. I told her that if her husband was so freaked about a sleeveless top that he couldn't work, he needs processional help and not to let childen near until he had seen the psychiatrist! I am now on her naughty list. I have zero patience for this crap! You crack me up, FaithManor! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyofsixreboot Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Ok, just back from a run in my oldest son's former school gym shorts and t-shirt. Am I now a cross dresser? I did get a honk from the paper guy who goes to our church. Should I worry he's being driven to lust by my wheezing and sweating? Of course I'm old so I don't count, right?

sunflowerlady Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 My thoughts about this are wondering how men manage to leave the house and have productive lives if they really have these issues. Most men seem to go about their day to day lives just fine. If they are constantly distracted and falling into lust-which they must be according to people who believe this way, how do they manage to live day to day. How do they go to work, stop by a store, go out and about in the world and live their lives? Oh, and what are women supposed to wear to the gym if yoga pants are not an option?

We always encouraged our kids to consider boys/girls as their brothers and sisters in Christ and to consider how they dressed and treated them.

Guest Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I realize we've moved far from the original subject, but as I am catching up, I want to quote Tibbie: The next thing I'd do would be to raise my girls to believe in themselves so that their self-worth doesn't hinge on whether they are sexy or whether they are buttoned up Exactly. What an exceedingly well-stated viewpoint. I do have one dd; she is quite beautiful, too, if I say so myself. I don't want her to fall for either pitfall.

Joanne Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 The first question that came into my mind was, how did the OP even come across such a website? I would add that not every statement regarding modesty is "slut shaming" or "misogyny" or whatever. IMO we use those terms so freely that they pretty much don't mean anything any more. I worked with healing conservative Christians for 15 years providing family and discipline education. I have quite a few people recovering from legalistic backgrounds in my life and on my social media. I can't imagine living surrounded by people who over use "misogyny" or "slut shaming". They are not commonly used words or phrases. In many cases, I don't think they are recognized and certainly slut shaming is a still developing concept.

Scrub Jay Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Personally I appreciate modesty. Not because I am worried about men going astray, but because I personally feel women show self-respect when they choose to dress appropriately. A woman shows self-respect with her clothing when she chooses her clothes and feels happy and confident in them. Her self-respect is not defined by some judgmental stranger.

elegantlion Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 What kind of makes me sad is that I wonder how many good relationships with men outside of their husbands many of these women have. I mean I hope your dh is a saint and I'm not even talking about going to lunch with another man. What about brothers? fathers? Do they just not have male role models? Do they look at a person of the opposite sex and think villain? Are they discounting friendships because of gender? It offends me not just as the parent of a male teen, but as a woman who has always been more comfortable around men in platonic relationships. Men are NOT scary creatures, seriously.

Well, I have officially ran out of likes so I'm quoting. I think anyone who claims misogyny and slut shaming are talked about too much just do not want to hear about these topics. These topics are certainly not common in people's day to day life. They are occasionally discussed on these boards but if someone thinks that is excessive, well, what an excellent example of why they need to be discussed more, IMO.

Her self-respect is not defined by some judgmental stranger. :iagree: D has asked me not to wear leggings out for a run, or yoga pants around town because they are transparent (he says. I can't see my own behind that well) and tacky. We live in a modest-dressing kind of place and we do try to meet the social standards reasonably well. Yoga pants are not very common here. Leggings are. I have switched to wearing all skirts and no pants because 1. I feel prettier and more feminine, 2. I find them more practical in that I can make my own skirts easily, and wear them with my changing size, but pants that fit a big booty and small waist are virtually nonexistent, ( do have 3 pairs of capris for exercise, but I don't wear them around town and only the yoga pants fit right now :lol: ) 3. I do find people-especially men-treat me with more respect. It's a sad fact, but there it is. The word "modest" has been co-opted to mean a lot of things it shouldn't, usually carrying judgement of the woman's character based on how much of herself she reveals. I think "tasteful" is better to connote "Dressed appropriately for the occasion." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It offends me not just as the parent of a male teen, but as a woman who has always been more comfortable around men in platonic relationships. Men are NOT scary creatures, seriously. This is what I get from POVs such as the one on that blog. I just don't even understand all the attention that is placed on what other women wear - to the gym, to the hardware store, to church, to the farmer's market - any of it. I mean, I notice when other women are dressed especially well and I notice when other women are dressed spectacularly poorly, but aside from that, I just don't notice. Running shorts, yoga pants, tight jeans, loose jeans, skirts - any time others are just wearing "normal" clothes, I don't notice or care. I'm gonna go out on a limb and imagine my dh and my sons are about the same way. i knew a woman who was very concerned about modest dress. She was constantly seeing all these "immodest clothes" where I just saw regular clothes. She was forever pointing out that this girl had on a tank top that showed her bra straps, that girl's shorts were too short, this girl's top showed cleavage when she bent over, etc. I never noticed any of these until she pointed them out. Guess it just proves that what you focus on expands. Personally, I would not prefer to focus on the idea that every woman is a potential lust display and every man is a bundle of barely-controlled sexual urges.

Corraleno Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 In my experience, when a woman is judging the appearance of other women and especially under the guise of complimenting modesty, she is worried about the man in her own life straying and how she stacks up to the competition. This. Considering that Mr M told their assembled friends and family, at their wedding, that Mrs M was physically "not his type" but that he fell in love with her because she was such a good Christian, I suspect that may have something to do with her need to emphasize what a good, modest Christian wife she is, as well as her fear of women dressing in a way that might inspire lustful thoughts in Mr M (and apparently it doesn't take much!).
