I was thisclose to tapping a girl on the shoulder at the creamer station last week and looking her dead in the eyes and saying, in all honestly, "sweetheart, you are a beautiful girl, but I have to point out to you that your ass is falling out of your shorts. And whether or not you want to be sized up like a piece of meat (and I'm assuming you do) you don't deserve to be, but every man in this coffee shop is looking at it right now."<br /><br />God, give me the strength to do so next time.

This ...(1) Yes, please tell them to put on clothes. This is ridiculous. My young son's eyes are right at your a$$ level. Eyeroll, ladies. I know it's been hot this week, but a few more inches of fabric on your hiney won't melt you into a puddle of sweat.<br />(2) Sounds like fun! My kids love a football party even though they have no idea what is going on.<br />(3) You are right. 100% right. I say all the girls pile into the "unisex" bathroom he was originally offered to change. Or, take their time going in there 1 by 1, thereby missing class. I would have my butt parked in the superintendent's office until this got resolved in a way that kept all penises out of my daughter's sight at all times.<br />(4) Too cute!<br />(5) Agreed<br />(6) praying for you - the struggle is real and I only have insomnia and PMS rage.<br />(7) I finally had to throw them off my porch too. Kept ringing the doorbell at nap time, then they showed up while I had a couple over learning NFP and wouldn't take the hint to go away.

I have to agree with you about the transgendered teen. I think most people agree that she shouldn't be in the girls room. Like what happened to protecting girls!!! I think it's an attention ploy from the teen. Everyone needs their 15 minutes I guess. My sister and I were just talking about teen fashions. We literally discussing being at the mall and seeing girls walking around with their literal ass cheeks out. It doesn't even look good. Put your cheeks back ladies! Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy. Hope it goes by quickly for you :)Loveisneverdefeatedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00054362615983207023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7902332526058821592.post-57194800128002023002015-09-04T07:12:36.169-07:002015-09-04T07:12:36.169-07:00As I was reading this, I kept going, "yes, ye...As I was reading this, I kept going, "yes, yes, yes, yes..." You get the idea haha! So here are some of my main comments on your post: <br /><br />1. About the modesty thing-what I NEVER understand is that some women will say, "Men shouldn't objectify me, they should see me as a person," and then proceed to wear skintight, cleavage baring, or super short outfits. Mmhmm...right. I respect the women who say this, I am very good friends with some of them-but it doesn't make sense in my mind. If you want people to not just look at and objectify your body, don't dress like it!?!?! I mean, men aren't raving animals, they have loads of self-control-but we shouldn't make their job harder now, should we? It totally goes both ways!<br /><br />3. Whether or not the guy in the locker room thinks he's a man or a woman, whether or not he's attracted to people of the same sex or different sex, I definitely am NOT comfortable with this. If I'm changing clothes in a locker room, I don't want other men to see me doing that, except my husband. And I don't think my desire to be changing in a female-only space is that unreasonable. I have used a coed restroom once in my life, but that was quite a bit different-the stall doors were floor-to-ceiling, and their were no urinals. While it was still weird seeing men at the sink while I washed my hands, I was still able to retain my proper comfort and privacy. But locker rooms or regular restrooms? Whole 'nother ballgame. <br /><br />5. The whole overload of tragedy is something I have thought about quite a bit, actually. As Catholics, our response to suffering should be solidarity with each other and suffering. But in our world of social-media, news, technology, etc, we are given an overload of all the evil in the world. I wish I knew the answer, but I don't. Except what St. Pio is commonly attributed with: Pray, hope, and don't worry. Because the devil really, REALLY wants us to pull apart from others and despair, so we just can't do that. But we also can't stick our head in the sand and wait for the bad stuff to go away. I read the headlines every now and then, and pick special intentions to pray for. I especially try to keep up with intentions that are close to my heart, like the situations of the persecuted Christians in the Middle East. But there is no possible way that we can keep tabs on every single wrong thing in the world, and I don't think we necessarily should try. I feel like it's more worthwhile to focus in on certain areas, pray, and actually try to do something about it. For example, I have some dear friends who are very involved with the anti-human trafficking movement. They see this evil taking place in our own cities & towns, they keep up with news related to it, and they do something about it, like work at a safe house. Sure, there are plenty of other issues that could use their time and attention, but God has called them to actually work to change this particular situation and help those women out. <br /><br />I don't know if any of that made any sense, my mind's still a little fuzzy this morning :P Thank you for such a thought-provoking post today! <br /><br /><br /><br />AnneMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13462442204217572325noreply@blogger.com
