So if we are all about freedom preservation here, why do we disapprove of women walking around with no shirts on? In Maine, nudity is only illegal if genitals are exposed.
Taking advantage of this caveat, a small group of very white women who looked as though they had not seen the sun in a decade, took to the streets of Portland, with the intention of calling attention to society's double standard toward male and female nudity.
What a Great and Terrific Lie today's women continue to believe and worse, perpetuate.
Not only should you put your shirt on, you should wear a bra. And while you're at it, cover your shoulders and at least a bit of your legs.
We need to tell our young women and girls of this Lie before they fall victim like countless others. And share with them the best kept secret of the source of a woman's power. Show less. Reveal less. Herein lies the source of all that is good, righteous, and powerful within a woman and her influence over her husband and children or others.
Pretending like it's normal for a woman to be naked and provocative, and there is something inherently wrong with men and the rest of us for not acting normal when we see bare breasts....it's simply the Great Lie that perpetuates the promiscuity and is exactly the factor that robs women of their power to begin with.
I challenge any woman or man to dig deep into their soul and show me where a woman has earned true power from disrobing publicly or behaving provocatively outside of marriage.
A woman's power lies within her, in her family. In her modesty. In her wide open heart that NURTURES her children, her husband and her friends.
Women are continuing to lose their wombs. They are continuing to choose being gender-neutral or neutered, in place of CLAIMING THEIR INHERENT GOD-GIVEN POWER. Until women claim their power correctly, our children will continue to be lost and not know their worth.
Men and Women: In what ways have you believed or perpetuated the Lie?

I love kick'n back after an honest days work and reading your blogs.
ReplyDeleteI am a mother of 8 beautiful sons and daughters. Four of each. I could not even envision our family without one of them! I have enjoyed every minute of raising this great generation of children. It has not been easy because I had to work full time as my husband did also, to support them. When my first one was born everyone was going on the pill to prevent births, and I refused as I believe in natural life in every way. I believe in modesty also and reserve my clothes less time be spent with my husband whom I married in 1957 and has been the love of my life. We have raised gardens, canned our excess, worked extra jobs,and have bought and remodeled homes to resell and make extra money. We are retired and live in a manufactured home retirement community which our sons and daughters bought for us. We have been blessed with good health for us and our children and we now have 20 grandchildren. What a joy a large family is!!!!
