Sexist Abstinence-Only Billboard

[Egalia]

Girls Are ‘Just Asking For It’


Billboard Tells Girls to Cover up:

GIRLS
IF IT’S NOT FOR SALE
DON’T ADVERTISE


You guessed it, this is yet another effort by yet another sex obsessed abstinence organization:

“While some find the message sexist in the way it targets girls, Scott Hughes, director of Just Wait, says it's really more about teenage boys.

’Guys are turned on visually by what they see, so it's really saying guys aren't men enough to control themselves, therefore you have to be careful on how you present yourself,' says Hughes."

Yeah, Scott, we’ve heard that before. That was once the rationale for the rule about women keeping quiet in the Church. Women speaking up in Church might cause men to have ungodly reactions. Men just can't control themselves.

Good God! This is what year??

1. Un-freaking-believable in the year 2005!

[mermaid]

2. What Next??

That very rationale is precisely why many Arabic women are forced to wear BOURKAS!!!

This is a load of bullshit.

How about, Boys, control your hormones. Think with your BIG HEAD, instead of your little head!!

[Scurmudgeon]

22. Control Hormones?

I think what you mean to say is boys, control yourselves. If hormones could be controled then PMS would be history.

Guys no doubt will get turned on, that's natural but slef control is what separates us from the beasts.

As a man, it is tough in high school. I learned to carry my books low and center between classes (to hide the tent).

In any case, I don't think we need a billboard lecturing teenage girls on how to dress. You have to figure, no matter what these girls are wearing the imaginations of teenage boys are far dirtier.

3. Hey, what if my Big head is my little head and...

and vica/versa.... if you know what I mean.... Hahahaha

[HawkerHurricane]

4. How about one...

"Boys... Look, don't touch!"

[Egalia]

5. hey, you might be safe in that outfit! n/t

[Warpy]

6. Sounds like the Catholic notion of

forcing all guilt onto women for being "occasions of sin" for the otherwise pure and exalted males has made it fully into the idiotic abstinence movement.

It must be great to be a Catholic male. Not only do you get to deny all responsibility for sex and the messy business of childbirth, but you're never at fault, not even for rape.

No wonder I left.

[HockeyMom]

7. 80 year old Grandmas and 2 year old Babies?

I would ask them to explain how their being "sexy" is causing rape?

Brain dead people.

[MountainLaurel]

8. Absolutely

Since about 1/3 of all rape victims are under the age of 12. (Another 1/3 are 13-18.)

[Megahurtz]

9. More Self-Righteous Closet-Pervs

blaming their own gutter minds and lack of control on women.:freak::freak::freak:

11. joke

I really hope that billboard was a joke. If not, I've gotta go buy me a poodle skirt, carefully put my hair in a perfect ponytail, and go to the hop with Jimmy.

[Deanna Troi]

12. Why can't we give them their own country?

Let them have their own rape/murder filled country and have them leave us alone!

[Beaverhausen]

13. It's not a joke

http://www.wbir.com/news/news.aspx?storyid=26605

what it is is...is...well there are no words for this one.

[bammertheblue]

14. That's insane.

I prefer this billboard:

Perpetrators of "abstinence only" lies: if it's bullshit, don't teach it to our children!

[musical_soul]

15. Poor men can't control themselves.

They need women to control them.

Good grief. Any other form of sexism they want advertised?

[fortyfeetunder]

16. Was there a "rest of the story"?

For example: Free 100% coverage Burqas available at www.justwait.org?

[Ally McLesbian]

17. Bullcrap.

Another typical male way of thinking that says if a girl shows it, it's because she wants sex.

I know better than that. Women show off to feel good about themselves, and to look good to other women, as much as to look good to men.

It's the boys who need to keep their raging testosterone in check. Either that, or I suggest castration. I am not joking.

[IrishDemocrat]

18. I don't agree with the bilboard, BUT

please don't suggest castration. We are allowed our hormones too!

[Shallah Kali]

19. Why aren't men acting like unneutered lapdogs at the beach?

Or anywhere else if merely looking caused uncontrolable reactions?

And more importantly why are they putting all the blame on the girls? Why aren't they telling the boys to avert their eyes and keep their hands (and the rest of their anatomy) to themselves? Females are called weaker sex yet we continue to get all the sexual blame :puke:

With these people I wonder why they haven't revived some of the chastity devices from previous years. There are ones to keep things locked down so nothing untoward can occur. I would think an enterprising manufacturer would make big bucks from these people.

[Nobody]

20. Ever been to a nudist colony?

Friend of mine did once. He's a totally heterosexual, loves reading girlie magazines, and in short, he's a red-blooded appreciator of the female body.

He told me that the nudist colony was not the least bit sexy.

[DaveColorado]

21. You dolls had better stock up on your burkas if Alito gets in

I wanted to put the sarcasm thingie, but then decided I wasn't entirely being sarcastic.

[oddmanout]

23. Truly disturbing

Another example of the wrong-think spewed out by the crazy rightist "morality" police.
