I had a few blog or reader hits on this post. All the pictures are gone, and I really can't see what she and I were fussing over. I don't know. I think that discussions of what should or shouldn't be are kind of pointless. Discussions about what should or shouldn't be don't really seem to go anywhere. 10202020 0437

Erin Sherwood Your comment is kind of what he's talking about though. Like...we all know you shouldnt wear a bikini to your friends wedding. Thats just dumb on so many more levels than what this conversation is, and actually kind of feeds into that mindset. You're making an extreme example to explain away a very important point that modesty culture can be twisted in a way to easily hurt women. That post is not advocating for people to wear underwear at black tie events, it's explaining that you can't blame someone for your inability to contol your own inpulses.
Kenneth Larot Yamat Erin Sherwood looking at stamps right now.
Erin Sherwood Old valuables or new fun designs?
Kenneth Larot Yamat 2014 and 2015- Kenneth Larot Yamat Medal of Honor and Purple Heart.
- Kenneth Larot Yamat and then two Madonna sets from the Metropolitan Museum of Art
- Kenneth Larot Yamat there is this new cactus one that I really like, and a new flag design. i bought a breast cancer fundraiser set of stamps. paid an extra 5 or 10 cents per stamp. see. i'm not a woman hater.
- Erin Sherwood Thats awesome, and I never wanted to imply that you were one. But your example was one of a woman wearing a bikini at a black tie event...which I dont believe a problem, or something that even happens. But does imply that women would be the ones dressing "inappropriately" to a lesser extent.
- Kenneth Larot Yamat alright, a guy should not wear Folsom Street Parade gear to an event requiring formal attire. or vice versa, to be fair.
- Kenneth Larot Yamat Erin Sherwood My point is that modesty culture isn't a culture, it's merely a concept, and the concept is that attire should be appropriate for the circumstances, the meme author is injecting sexuality into the concept, and I don't think that is fair. Forget the example. It's a shit example. What I'm trying to say is that Josh Weed is inserting an inappropriate assumption into the concept of modesty.
- Erin Sherwood But isn't any concept a theory of what should be?
- Erin Sherwood And isn't sexuality a concept as we've construcred what it "should" be.
- Kenneth Larot Yamat i agree that modesty is a concept is a theory of what should be. and i agree that sexuality is a concept, but i'm not sure if sexuality is a concept of what should or shouldn't be
- Kenneth Larot Yamat i think that sexual mores or whatever is a concept of what should or shouldn't be sexually.
- Kenneth Larot Yamat but i think sexuality is something else.
- Kenneth Larot Yamat i think i saw you a few times at whole foods in downtown san jose.
- Kenneth Larot Yamat like a zillion years ago.
- Kenneth Larot Yamat i mentioned on the post that i shared this from that i agree that a woman's worth is not determined by her sexiness or what she wears or whatever.
- Kenneth Larot Yamat and Josh Weed says something like, in the string that he never tells another man what to wear. but men tell other men what to wear all the time and it is not sex related. Josh Weed is a total Freudian, and he may or may nor realize it. everything is cock and cunt with this guy.
- Kenneth Larot Yamat anyway, there is these scene in Donnie Brosco, where Al Pacino's character tells Johnny Depp's character: Dress like I dress, lose the mustache. or something to that effect. it's totally normal for guys to do that. it's normal for people to make clothing suggestions to other people, and it doesn't always have to be sexual.
