I recently discovered this wonderful blog of insanity and the title of one of the blog entries therein. Basically the woman is complaining about how hard it is to deal with summertime because all the slutty unmarried whores of the internet are posting selfies on their blogs and Facebook and it is just too much temptation for her poor husband. She actually believes this phenomenon is a stumbling block to her marraige.
Even if you don’t take the insecurity and insanity of her logic as a whole, there are so many :dubious: sentences in her blog post;
“I’m not judging you” (yes you are!)
“If I was skinny with rock-hard abs and legs from here to Mexico, I’d want to take lots of pictures of myself. Mostly naked. I would want to post them with a nice filter on Instagram, and share them with whoever might see.” (But of course nevermind that some other shrill Christian blogger is no doubt finger-wagging at her impurity for tempting some poor helpless husband and troubling some Stepford Wife’s marraige!)
“Protecting his eyes, protecting his heart.” (The goggles, they do nothing!)
Not surprisingly there was quite a backlash against the blog post, with some funny responses here and a few other places (there was a great parody of her blog post that was very long-winded but I forgot the link). Check out the rest of her blog too, its a pretty heaping basket of loony in that condescending holier-than-thou Christian flavor.
So, her husband, cruises over to instagram or tumblr and finds a picture with a little too much sideboob for her tastes and it’s the poster’s fault?
Plenty of kids have been caught looking at a Playboy or sneaking a peek at some online porn and I don’t think anyone has ever blamed the photographer or the model for that. Blame your husband for looking or deal with your marital problems if that’s the bigger issue instead of projecting. Or, even better, get over your own insecurities. If some other girl is hotter than you, it’s not her fault and it’s not fair to blame her for that. Whether it’s because she was born with it, she works out more than you, she wears different makeup, she has more confidence…whatever, trying to make her feel bad about it, IMO, makes you the jerk and to make it worse, she passes it off as protecting her husband. I’m sure her husband is thrilled that he has this loving wife to protect him from all these 24 year old girls with iphones and tumblr accounts.
I hope she’s realizing that she’s blaming other people for her insecurity. “Those pretty girls are making it harder for me to love who I am!” Does she realize how stupid that sounds?
That’s exactly what’s she’s doing. Also, Monstro and I are agreeing on something! What else will this woman bring about? Cats and Dogs in harmony? Oh the Humanity!
It sounds like she has so many hangups about her own body and sexuality its easier to rationize it by blaming everybody else. I was discussing it with my wife (who has no problem with me seeing other women’s boobs; she’s more concerned what I’m gonna do with them in real life to worry about me ogling other women) and we came to the conclusion that she’s rationalizing the possibility that her husband might be less-than-perfect.
Think about it: If your husband was a Perfect Christian Husband, he would never stray or be tempted in his marraige. So if he does, it couldn’t possibly be his fault, because this woman would never admit to marrying a guy that turned out to be a ‘lemon’. Thus, any infidelity, or temptation of it, must be coming from other people. In this woman’s case, it makes more sense to her to appeal to all of Facebook to stop taking tempting photos of themselves, rather than, you know, talk to your husband about how you’re getting older, and feeling insecure about your body.
Who lays there in her man’s arms and wonders if he is thinking about somebody else? Who cares what he is thinking anyway, it’s not like women don’t think about somebody else from time to time.
If you have so little trust of your man that you are afraid of him seeing another woman’s boobs then the kindest thing you can do is set him free to find a woman who thinks a little more highly of him.
It would be a sad lookout for my husband if mine were the only boobs he could ogle. Not that there is anything wrong with them, mind you, but with all the candy in the store window, he can at least window-shop.
