This stuff just fucking scares me.

Uh, detecting Evil at high noon. Yup.

You know, I think the part of this that disturbs me the most is the pre-threaded sewing kit. Okay, it's a girl's choice to remain celibate, and that's fine, but to admit she's so inept that she can't even thread a sewing needle???

Or that she doesn't have one already?

A shower cap? Who the hell under 40 uses those? :p

There's just a world of wrong there.

I don't think this Evil so much as Incredibly effing stupid and irresponsible. I just don't get how some religions can still hold such a naieve stance towards birth control and sex ed in this day and age. it IS possible to teach kids about abstinence being the best policy and not be so cloying or avoidant.

This just made my head hurt so much...

Instead of being a slut going out and having sex and catching STDs, here's a sewing kit and all kinds of things to make you pretty! B/c afterall, what is a girl worth if she isn't pretty and able to sew and cook and clean for a man?

And my mother doesn't understand why I don't go to church anymore...

I do, but only because I have really long hair, so if I'm washing it that commits me to a much longer shower than if I just put it up under a shower cap.

That said, someone trying to give me one as a present if it wasn't /really/ cool would be glared at. Nor would I have ever wanted that package of stuff, much less as a present.

Fair enough. :)

Yes, a showercap would have to be cool to be a present. I would wear one if it had Cthulu on it or something. Or if it looked like a giant brain. Because... ew, brains.

That kind of package is the kind of thing I could have gotten from someone my parents knew (very churchy people) as a teen. Just ick.

I'm 44, but I use one. Granted, it's to cover the seat of my bicycle when I'm not riding...

And I bet she doesn't see the vast middle ground between the two states.

I think sitting on the showercap might be sacreligious! o.o!!! It could touch your nethers. It's almost birth control if you use it DOWN THERE. Too close to a condom. Children could get the wrong idea.

They should stop including such a sinful thing in their product. Water is supposed to touch your hair in the shower! Your *cough*bottom*cough* is supposed to get wet after a rain! God would have made hair and *cough*bottoms*cough* waterproof if he'd wanted them to stay dry.

*writes irate letter to sinful promoters of unnatural protection!*

And they would think they were doing a Very Nice Thing with something safe because it said it was Christian and all that.

And never THINK one moment about it - yanno, NOT BEING CHRISTIAN OR MORAL WHATSOEVER.

That, we hates. Hates muchly.

I'm sure the women thought it was very Christian and moral when they'd pat my hips and backside approvingly and comment on how easy it was going to be for me to have babies when the time came. I was 12, but thanks!

I'm far too well-versed in the double-think of the thoughtless Christian. It amazes me now, looking back, how pervasive the mindlessness was and how much it was embraced. I probably would have remained a Christian if I'd had access to thinking, critical Christian company.

God save a girl who gets this as a going away to college present. I see pregnancy in their near future. Yes, even if she goes to an ultra conservative college - what most college aged girls do when they get there is figure out how far they have to drive to finally be unsupervised, and then engage in all the stupid college kids activities they can cram.

Only if she got the shmuck to marry her, which I don't see happening. Sorry, but some guys' reaction to that news is "how do I know you haven't been having sex all over town?"

I definitely could have used some thinking Christians when I was growing up. >_< Not that all Christians are brainwashed, but I definitely was when I was a kid. All my beliefs came from my mom and it took a long time for me to finally start to open my eyes and decide things for myself. I still consider myself Christian, but I don't practice (as in going to church) b/c all I see is that same mentality of "if you don't believe exactly what we believe, then you're against us" and I just think too much for myself to be in that kind of environment.

That icon is about several hundred thousand shades of WRONG.

Which is probably why it made me giggle.
