Aunt Lori Alexander 22: Criticising your poop and pining for Gilead

[feministxtian]

There just is no end to this woman's self-hatred, is there? Yes, I'm convinced that Lori hates herself, hates being a woman. I mean, she goes on and on about women and it's pretty evident that she hates women with what she says. 

About the noises...my husband would probably get up and I'd sleep through the whole thing. I'm a pretty sound sleeper...and if I DID hear a noise, I'd attribute it to the ferocious felines and that would be that. However, as a Navy wife and as a single parent in the past, yeah, I'd be the one to get up...with my trusty 9mm. However, not being paranoid helps immensely. And, during those times, I had a couple of big dogs who would bark at anything suspicious. Hell, if someone was dumb enough to come into the house, they'd deserve the mauling they'd get from the dogs. 

And, yes, I am a SAHW now, due to the fkn car accident that jacked up my back. With 5 bulging discs and a leg that goes numb at times, doing a helluva lot of housework is pretty much out of the picture. I hate that woman.

Years ago, we lived in an apartment and at bout 3:00 in the morning someone was banging on the door and trying the handle. Mr. Free got the gun. I got a baseball bat.  He told me to stay in the bedroom. Turns out it was a neighbor from another apartment who was drunk and trying to get in the wrong apartment.  Yea, my hubby had the gun and was ready to do the "manly" thing, but if there had been trouble, I would have come out of that room and had his back.

Ken traveled "half the year" while their kids were young. What did Lori do when she needed a big strong man while he was gone? I bet they were  that family who told one or both of their young sons "You're the man of the house - make sure everyone stays safe." I hate when people put that pressure on a child.  

My husband also traveled a lot when our kids were little. We NEVER told our son he was responsible for my well being. If something went wrong at home or I heard a strange noise, I was not going to send my eight year old son in to take care of things. My kids knew their mother would protect them - not the other way around. 

But, even though we never put that burden on him, our son kind of naturally took on a protective role. This was his last couple years at home. He'd find me in the kitchen and say "Mom I've locked up. Is there anything you need before I head to bed?"  

Sorry for the tangent. I guess maybe Lori might have called on her father or a brother-in-law when Ken was out of town??  Or 911 got lots of ridiculous calls from "That Alexander Woman."

The thing which the husband is specially to understand and take into account is that he is dealing with a thing less strong than himself…

I thought Lori didn't teach men?

If there is a sound downstairs during the night and it might be a burglar, you don’t say to her: ‘This is an egalitarian marriage, so it’s your turn to go check it out. I went last time.’ And I mean that even if your wife has a black belt in karate. After you’ve tried, she may finish off the burglar with one good kick to the solar plexus. But you better be unconscious on the floor, or you’re no man. That’s written on your soul, brother, by God Almighty.  

I think she may be quoting John Piper there. Just saw it. It's Piper all right. 

As a mom who's home alone with the kids 4-5 nights a week, I'm the one who gets up when there's a noise.  I tend to be the one who wakes up anyway.

And I am sure the feminists will love Matthew Poole’s definition of this verse; “weaker than the husbands, and that both in body and mind, as women usually are.”

Lori, that's just not true.  Women and men have different strengths, that's all. And you know it!  How can a mentally less-strong woman put up with the stuff you expect women to put up with?  How can a physically less strong woman do all the work you "prescribe"?  Perhaps you are weaker, but most women I know are pretty strong.  By this I mean that you contradict yourself big time when you support this assertion.

One more thing, Lori. This is straight from Proverbs 31, a passage I kinda thought you knew....

Quote

 

17. She dresses herself with strength and makes her arms strong.

25 Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come.

26 She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. 

 

So much for weakness of body and of mind, eh Lori? 

[usmcmom]

Over the weekend, a theory came to me regarding Lori and her recent string of posts. 

She seems to have spent a lot of time lately writing about modesty and weight. She seems stuck on those topics, in my opinion - more so than she has been in the past. 

I am really starting to wonder if Ken has strayed. If he has not actually strayed, maybe he has not bothered hiding his wandering eye. We all know Lori is the type to blame the other woman if her husband were to be unfaithful.  I really wonder if she has taken her anger and hatred for one specific woman and generalized it toward all females. 

Regarding her recent obsession with weight, I think one of two things could be possible. Either Ken has continually ogled or been involved with a women who Lori thinks is "fat," allowing Lori to remind Ken and others that she is better than that because she has remained thin. OR - the woman is actually quite thin and fit, sparking a competitiveness in Lori to get even thinner. Think of her modeling that t-shirt dress, hoping for compliments. Think of all her videos where she insists she struggled with her weight.*

*Real life story: My mom has always been very obsessed with her own weight and remains too thin. My stepmother is the same way. After my dad's funeral (which, unfortunately, my mother attended) my mom dropped a lot of weight very quickly. When my sister mentioned it to me, I shared my theory that mother was trying to be skinnier than stepmother after seeing how thin the grieving widow was at the funeral. All of my relatives who know my mom well agreed this could be a very likely scenario.*

I am probably putting too much thought into this but something just seems off to me (more than normal) about Lori's demeanor lately. There is a desperation to her that has not always been there, in my opinion.

Add her middle of the night, whispering in the dark video about all those disgusting immodest beyoches tempting all the men with their immodest dress and facial expressions.

@usmcmom, this was so sweet. You've clearly raised a good son. Thoughtful. Kind. Protective.

That one also had the weird thing about the woman at the next table with too much boob showing. It made me think when I saw it that Ken was enjoying that show more than his dinner. Because I don't generally fixate on what people at adjacent tables are wearing in restaurants. Unless it is something really bizarre--a clown suit, Victorian hoop skirt, prison jumpsuit...(and, no, I've never seen any of those in a restaurant).

Don't eat out {you have no idea what they are putting in your food any ways}.

When you eat out, you have no idea what is in the food.

Eating at home is cheaper, healthier, warmer, quieter and way more cozy than any restaurant. 

  Lori dines out more than anyone I know.  At least once, but sometimes multiple times a week.

But back to today's post:

Quote

Unfortunately, feminists have bullied men into women being able fulfill these positions. 

What??  How does that work if:

Quote

Women are the weaker vessel. 

Quote

EVERY ONE knew that men are stronger physically and emotionally than women. Men have ten times the testosterone than women do. 

How is it that these strong "protectors" are bullied by weak little woman vessels??

Thank you so much. After I posted, I realized that part could be seen as humble bragging. That really was not my intent and I was trying to make a point. 

I just cannot remember what that point was at the moment. *sigh*

[teachergirl]

I am going to bring this bitch ere to Fort Campbell and she can tell the very brave women who serve that they are trying to be "men." I guess all of those asshats that agree with her will be fine if they ever have  a car accident and need an EMT that they will refuse help if a woman happens to show up.  Why do I read her????

[Koala]

I wonder what she'd do if she called for help and a female police officer showed up on her doorstep?  Would she turn her away, or tell her how ungodly she is?

 

[usmcmom]

If Lori wants no women in the Armed Service or serving as first responders, what is her family doing to fill those spots with men? 

Let's see...she has a husband, two sons and two sons-in-law who have never worn a uniform. There's five spots right there. Throw in her grandson, who may or may not choose such a career (though I think Ken and Lori believe their family is above military service). There are potentially SIX positions (and counting) that the Alexander family could have filled to prevent women from serving. 

Yeah, thanks for nothing Ken and Lori. Your boys' athletic participation doesn't count, either.

If you haven't read the biography of Laura's life, it's so very good. Pics of the whole family too.

I didn't fully appreciate their family's  strength and sacrifice until I read this book.

 

May need to get this out of the library. I've already got Pioneer Girl during waiting to be read, though...

Sounds like a reasonable, considerate kid to me!

I went and read the "article" she posted on Fearless Girl. The piece is bad enough. The comments are outright disgusting.

No one is sending us. We volunteer to join the Army, we apply to become police and firefighters. And I assure you, your narrow-minded opinion on this matter has zero effect on our desire to serve.

I wrote this post for those women who want to be godly, feminine women, not those who are feminists as most are today.

Blow it out your ass, along with your 2 pounds of poop, Lori. Serving in the Army was easily one of the top 3 things I have done with my life, and I never sacrificed being godly or feminine. Spoiler alert: I still got my period (except during Basic Training), still shaved my legs, and still could turn the heads of many a man. I also went to church every Sunday, prayed often, and even tithed.

One of my son's female high school classmates also joined the Marine Corps after graduation. As a senior she had been voted Homecoming Queen AND Prom Queen. THEN she was named honor recruit for her company during boot camp graduation. Our hometown paper did a huge article on her when she came home. It was entitled something like "From Prom Queen to Honor Marine."  Good Lord, I love that girl!!  

TeddyBonkers - thank you for your service. Thank you a thousand times!!

I noticed today that Lori is still gaining followers. She is over 22,000 now.  That is concerning, as she is spreading her drivel to those who don't know any better We've got to keep getting the word out there.  

[delphinium65]

This on her FB page, discussion about women in military and law enforcement.  Welllll, if we're to judge by her, I would prefer my daughter in that situation to speak to man rather than Aunt Lori!

Agreed. Should I ever be in that situation, I may prefer to recount my story of being assaulted to a sympathetic male officer rather than to Lori.  Imagine her questions . 'Lori: 'Honey, what were you wearing when you were assaulted?' Me: 'You mean what was the rapist wearing? I think a blue hoody' Lori: 'No honey, what were you wearing. A legging by any chance?' 

So yes, Lori has a point. Not all females are nice

Not Lori related, but I suggest that if you are having a leg go numb, you see either a neurologist or a spine specialist.  That is not a good sign (and one I ignored, which left me disabled).  Please don't be stupid like I was and lose your mobility!

Indeed, and it feels really strange agreeing with Lori about anything.  Now I feel dirty, like I need to take a long, hot, soapy shower.

No kidding.  Can you imagine a man having 10 kids?  Please!  You'd have one kid (if you were lucky) if a man was having babies.  Women are freaking strong.  Heck, just vaginas are strong (and you can't break them *ahem*)

To quote Kelly from Ash vs The Evil Dead

Well, actually, vaginas are powerful and life-affirming

What??? Now she says these are individual qualities and not gender based qualities? Bullshit, Lori. You say all the time women are kinder and men are not emotional and how we need to stop asking that our husbands listen to us, our experiences and emotions. Fool.

No more than Ken tells the women who work in the orthodontists offices he consults with that they are ungodly.  He knows which side his bread is buttered on.

And no more than she and Ken tell female wait staff at the many restaurants they go to that they are ungodly.

And no more than she told the females who cared for her when she was in the hospital having her surgeries that they are ungodly.

Women working outside the home are whores of Babylon, unless, you know, you need them.
