You guys have to quit putting words into my mouth. I never said that I think that TL killed Caylee or that her death is solely his fault. I'm just pointing out that he is part of the situation that led to her death.
In an earlier post I mentioned women's lib. It's made no difference in regards to who gets blamed when there is sex involved and a pregnancy results. It's always the woman who is a wh*r*, loosey goosey, bad girl, etc. Afterall, a woman should not want to have or enjoy sex. But it is okay for a guy to go around doing "it" all he wants - no judgment "boys will be boys" - nothing has changed as far as I can tell since the 1920's! It pisses me off! Lets count KC's boyfriends - 1, 2, 3, ...100 - bad girl, sl*t. Lets count TL's girlfriends - 1, 3, 6, .....300 - oh well, just a "normal guy". All the girls he's been with are a bunch of sl*ts but he's a topnotch guy. I'm sick of the double standard in our society. It makes me sick.
The woman is still being made to feel unequal to the man. Yet she is the one, when things go wrong, that should have controlled herself.
So let's not lie to our girls. It is up to them to keep their legs closed because if they don't they will be called sl*t and wh*r* and possibly be left to raise a child on their own. And, when they do have sex, make sure they know there is supposed to be something in it for them (aside from love) on the physical level.
For the above reasons, as much as I distrust KC, I don't like it when she is portrayed "bad" for her sex behavior, that is, without her partners receiving equal judgment.
Let me mention here, that on a Fusion Flyer, that KC helped to distribute, it stated "18 to *advertiser censored*, 21 to swallow". Nice, huh? TL was not into elevating the image of women imho.
Let me start by saying I have
never put words into your mouth.. I would never, I think you know that. and I have never taken part in any discussion proclaiming Casey to be "bad" because she slept around, nor have I defended
anyone she has ever slept with. The opposite is true actually, I spoke of how I "got" the "*advertiser censored*" issues (ya know, the post about feeling worthless..?)
Anyone who sleeps around has issues, IMO. ANYONE- male, female, black, white, old, ugly, it don't matter wtf a person is covering up with their panties,
a *advertiser censored* is a *advertiser censored*! And searching for love in the wrong places is not going to help us find it- if anything it makes it that much more difficult.
Sadly, if more parents reinforced (by loving & accepting their children, by encouraging and helping along good self esteem and sense of self.. by teaching them to expect and demand respect from those they spend time with. By teaching them to respect others, by giving them a happy, healthy home, setting good standards and place some decent morals in their minds from early childhood... i could go on but I'll stop..) the logic you present in your post it would be a very different world. No doubt, a wonderful one!
This goes far beyond the Casey's and TonE's of the world and IMO has far more to do with how people feel about themselves, are taught to think of themselves and what they feel they
deserve than any womans lib movement. I'm teaching my
son that it's "being a *advertiser censored*" if you sleep around and that sex should mean something, that protecting himself is HIS job etc. It's my JOB to teach him these things.. I sure hope others teach their
children the same thing! boy, girl, cat, dog,
whoever!
Our children learn from us... We give them their self worth...
I know this. I don't care what anyone says.
TonE took was what offered, so what? Why does that make HIM bad and HER not? They were both *advertiser censored*, so what?! I'm not seeing the sexism in the way of which you speak. What do the FUSION flyers have to do with TonE and what his thoughts on "elevating" women are?
