"There will be many willing to preach to you the philosophies of men... mingled with scripture." -Lucifer, temple video*
"She should know better than to dress like that. She was practically asking for it." -way, way too many people.
"I wore a tank top and shorts today and not a single man raped me. I'm so disappointed! I was totally asking for it." - No. Woman. Ever.

| Pig sh*t: ambrosia for those willing to swallow the philosophies of men without any mingling at all. (Rant here) |
When I was working toward admitting my feminism, I went through a long period of worrying that the line from my Blessing referenced above was talking about it and other equality-promoting philosophies. I obviously got over that. Today, as I was running through some of the recent things I've read about modesty and rape, it came to me that rape culture--especially in a religious context--is very literally the philosophies of men (males, not humanity), often mingled/justified with scripture.
I think that pretty much speaks for itself. Rape culture is a philosophy of men mingled with scripture. Look for messengers from your Heavenly Parents instead.

Thank you for wanting to leave me a message. I hope you've found something I've said edifying, and you'll extend the same to me. Please be positive, I'm not here to argue, but rather to just have a place to write things that I find spiritually uplifting, or share my own ponderings on matters of faith. Thank you.
