I almost blew a gasket reading this: https://www.washingtonpost.com/nati...ngs-sparking-protests/?utm_term=.99584864ece5

It reminded me so much of what happened at the beach a few years ago. I was accosted by a mother who told me that I should either cover up or leave the beach. Cover up? I had a crocheted cover up on. All I had showing was cleavage and a whole lot less than I normally do! I was so hurt I was speechless.

The age of boys will be boys should have ended long ago, but mothers have become enablers because it takes energy to correct attitudes.

How about mother’s raise sons who respect women and thier bodies. I just can’t believe some of the shit I read and see in 2019.
Maybe if everyone walked around naked people would be more accepting of each other’s body and be more respectful as a whole.

This is indeed a problem. I was on a city tour of Havana, a mother was freaking out because she was a mother and the ancient statues of the city had their breasts exposed! Statues. Historic, hundreds of years old statues.

Yup. And look at the dress codes for schools. Where is the problem? With the mothers of sons, I think.

Lazy-ass woman just didn't wanna do her fucking JOB as a parent and talk to her son about how to respect women.

This makes me want to adopt a son just so I can raise him to be a respectable, decent person and not excuse his poor behavior on his genitals.

No. The problem is with the sons. The problem is with the fathers. The problem, in short, is cis men dictating the terms of society.

The problem certainly is with the mother who brought this up in the first place...

In the article, it's the mother who can't accept that just because her son has a penis doesn't mean he can't control himself.

+1 to all the above

However, i absolutely abhor the thin, THIN leggings that are stretched to the point of being sheer. Always check your rear view! We don't need to see what style or color underoos you're wearing.

When my son was younger he started mouthing off to his mom and treating her in a condescending way. We talked about it, but the behavior persisted. Then one day I came home and heard some obnoxious treatment of his mother. I grabbed a suit case and dragged him up stairs and told him to pack. He was crying profusely. I told him he could no longer live in my home and treat my sweetheart that way. Finally, I had his attention and got the message across of how to treat the better sex. He always treated his mom with respect and now to this day his a momma's boy and treats his wife with tenderness and respect always.

Where does it say he didn't control himself?

Wasn't the mothers consternation that the son was being put in the position to have to control himself (and yes, that's weird)?

She says he didn't look:

My sons know better than to ogle a woman’s body — certainly when I’m around (and hopefully, also when I’m not). They didn’t stare, and they didn’t comment afterwards.

At any rate, I had no idea this was such a big deal :D

I think there needs to be a "Think of the fathers of daughters" response to the asshats who think it's ok to ogle. AND a "Think of the mothers of daughters" response to the mom who wrote the article... to remind her that we are more than how we look.

preferably eloquently written by someone very scary, who is undoubtedly willing to do extreme physical harm to protect his daughter.

I read the article, and after reading all of your high and to the right comments slamming and blasting the mom, the sons, and the fathers for not teaching her 4 sons to respect women. I read it 2 more times. You’re all wrong. Sorry to say that but you are.

In terms of the mom that wrote the op ed to the news paper she did say she raised her sons to respect women and even said that they did not look or stare or ogle. She even said that they didn’t even make comments about it. She even said that she didn’t even make a comment directly to them either. All she did was write a letter to a catholic college newspaper asking the students to re-evaluate their wardrobe a bit. What’s wrong with that? Now I do think the students were wrong for going out of their way to wear leggings as much as possible after the article, because to me that’s going out of your way to throw it in her face. Kind of rude honestly. If they disagreed with her opinion then fine continue on with your merry way and don’t make changes. It didn’t call for rally’s being created and a leggings day being created. To me that’s a bit of childish overkill.

Now I am a Roman Catholic and yes I do think a woman looks good in leggings. I get a woman can get away with leggings and yoga pants and yoga shorts as normal day to day outer wear, and I don’t say shit and I don’t stare, but there is still a part of me sees those things as workout wear and should only be worn while working out, in the gym, going to and from the gym. That’s the Marine in me talking though, in the Corps you were only allowed to wear PT gear while you were PT’ing or going to and from. It wasn’t authorized civilian attire and not authorized for liberty.

Ok now that that is out. Where you are not wrong is there are men out there that have been allowed to be brought up to have no respect for women or anyone else for that matter and they are out there, I do agree with that, but that’s not the op ed if the original letter though. It’s not just men though, there have been women that have been brought up to not respect women and men in general as well. Those are the ones that find you on the street and tell you off, like the one that told us about the mom that complained about her cover up. Or the one that complained about the statues. It’s both genders that have been raised with no respect, common, decency or common sense. So let’s not man bash ok.

It was a standard of Human Resources to say 7 seconds, after that it becomes a stare. But if you ever watch and time someone staring at someone or something for 7 seconds it looks like a damn gander and not a glance or looks
Holy 7 Mississippi’s Batman! I just counted that out and that’s a looong time. Yup, I’d feel ogled after that. Either that or wonder if they were having a petite mal seizure and offer first aid. :grinning:

Right and again when I was on active duty and working in the office that felt with a commands EEO and SACO. The rule was 7 seconds when I gave my brief to the new joins I had one demonstrate that so everyone could see how long it was.
