Immodest Women are Mean!

Amid descriptive vulgarities, her comment came down to this:

"I wear my clothes (swimsuit) so men (like your husband) will lust after me."

I've cried too much yesterday and today from personal attacks on my marriage and appearance. I'm not playing the game any more. It truly breaks my heart.

I'd really love to know what the comment said. Why didn't she keep it up? If it was as nasty and actually did attack her and her family and appearance as she says, then it's the woman in question who's being a jerk. However, I'm wondering if it actually was as bas as she claims since she didn't even try to refute any of it except to talk about how mean it is to dress immodest and the title alone that immodest women are mean has me rather curious.

She claims these were mean enough to make her cry. Apparently she got three nasty comments and now won't accept any comments at all, so even more curious. Some people will be mean, but if it was threats to her and her family and wasn't anonymous, she might want to report them. If it wasn't threats, why not leave it up to show how much of a jerk she (or he) was to you? I would. Flamers suck, but put your thoughts out in public, you're asking to be criticized. Someone just won't like what you have to say. Some people are assholes. Nothing you can do about it.

She sounds massively, massively insecure. And quite sheltered.

Sheltered is an understatement! She has to write nudity as "n*udity" or her parental controls wont let her on her own friggin blog.

Well, I was going to say she sounds like an idiot, but I was trying to be nice. I'm in my "nice" place today.

So asking her what the fuck does n*dity mean wouldn't be very nice? :whistle:

[fluttershies]

The n*dity thing might be to do with ads? I know some legit sites use asterisks if they use Google ads to stop them getting ads for porn and stuff.

She said she uses the asterisk because otherwise her own net nanny wouldn't let her access her blog.

I take issue with her "Would you wear this to the mall? Idea. Because no, I wouldn't, because I'd hate to have to shave that much to go to the mall. Also society allows for different clothing in different situations. I wouldn't wear my mall clothing to a formal ball either, but that doesn't mean I need to go around in a formal all the time. I have however worn the top of my tankini (full lenght) all over Las Vegas as a rather cute top once.

I'm sorry, but that's hilarious. If it's a word she's not ashamed of using, then why have her net nanny block it? Besides the big circle of uselessness that is blocking a non-vulgar word from your internet and then making the effort to get around that block, now she can't read websites like vision forum because they don't bleep out words like nudity.

But if she unblocks it she might *gasp* see nudity!

[CrazySister]

I should have been in bed hours ago so my apologies if this doesn't make sense and just sounds stupid. I don't even understand having the word nudity blocked in the blocker. If I wanted to look at porn, I'd just type in "porn" not "nudity." Those of you who have a blocker of some sort, am I missing something??

[browngrl]

So is this a thing now - randomly putting in "*" in words that have no profanity/crudity (except perhaps in the mind of a fundie priggish woman)? In that case I propose we put an asterisk every time the letter "L" or "T" or "Y" is used. So phallic don't you know.

Also: I will start to cry bitter tears if anyone dares to criticize my comment.

[cindyluvs24]

I'm a little unclear about the point she's trying to make- what without showing the offending comments in their entirety. In fact, I'm calling BS on that comment. What are the odds that someone really wrote that? It sounds like something these fundy gals think, "Immodest women are out to defraud my pure-hearted husband." Secondly, why is it that these gals all have to write blogs to "encourage" each other all day long? I don't harp 24/7 about the joys of litigation in order to be a blessing and an encouragement to other lawyers. I don't complain that I'm being persecuted because the courthouse buys cheap toilet paper instead of the soft stuff or the parking deck was full. (and now, I'm going back to work on a holiday weekend.)

[Lainey]

I wonder if her husband is one of the MANY fundie men who apparently struggle with "porn addiction," or can't keep it in his pants, and she's decided it's everyone else's fault.

[ElphabaGalinda]

It does seem like that comment can't be real. So called "immodest" women don't spend time obsessing about other peopples' modesty. I'm guessing her husband struggles with lustful thoughts. So she has to tell herself that other women are out to tempt her husband to make herself feel better. Though if she has a husband she should be able to see the word nudity. I wonder what other words it blocks.

[pixydust]

Yes, I'm out to tempt your husband in my cutoff jeans, I want him to lust after my soft, pasty white and freckled legs, and I know that teeny patch of hair that I missed when I naired last night will push him over the egde! Mwahahaha!

Heh, on Jennie's forum I once wrote "Hancock," which changed to "Han****"".

:lol: I was on private messaging on another site and two of my words were *ed out. I could not figure what words had been taken out at first and then I realized what they were. I said "they are too hard on her." The site starred out hard on as inappropriate. Yeah, not what I meant at all. :?

A filter that stringent is going to force people to try figuring out why a word isn't allowed, and THAT is going to gig sexual meaning to things.

I did once accidentally leave the "r" out of "shirt", and that, not surprisingly, was asterisked out. But "hard"? Sheesh!

Yeah, we had a good laugh about that one. It happened months ago...still funny. It was "hard on" that was inappropriate apparently. Still funny though. I just laughed when I realized what had been taken out.

Funny, isn't it? They filter things to keep it "clean", but yet, it wasn't my mind that was in the gutter until they put it there by turning a non-sexual statement into something with sexual meaning.

[sippin0nsunshine]

I just read the post and again, I'm confused as to why fundies seem to think women shouldn't dressing for men but for god. I don't dress FOR anyone, I dress in what's comfortable to me, and if people want to stare, let 'em! Most normal people have self control.

The T-shirt I wore today hasn't been worn in a few years and I've gained a few lbs since the last time I wore it. I had to keep tugging it down so my tummy didn't show, so while I was at walmart I bought a cute tank top that's long enough to cover my belly but shows cleavage. A few guys stared, but nobody reacted. Went to dinner with my family, and afterwards talked to a sweet Fundy-Lite couple, and even THEY didn't care what I was wearing.

Moral of the story: Who the hell cares what other people wear? Don't like it? don't look.

Wouldn't that be pha**ic? ;)
