I Feel Like Tearing My Hair Out!

Or banging my head against the wall.Why? Because a woman, who I thought was pretty cool, is turning out to be a very big annoyance to me. I don't know what happened. Either I am getting too sensitive or she is getting way too conservative. Anyway lately she has said things like this:

1- "I would like my daughter, if I have one, to go to college but I would not push it like I would with my sons". Basically it wasn't important to her if any daughter she had got a college education because that wasn't her purpose on the earth anyway, being a wife and mother was. Gag!! Blech!(that was in my own word but it was the gist of it)

and this one that I read today:

2- Anything that would get a boy all riled up(sexually) she would not allow her daughters(again that she doesn't have) to wear it. This was in reference to pairing leggings with short skirts or dresses. I guess it is too much to ask that boys be responsible for their own thoughts and actions. I also am guessing that it hasn't even crossed her mind that girls don't have to be wearing short skirts with leggings to get boys all riled up. I knew guys who just liked to see girls in dresses period. Whether they were short, long, sleeveless, capped sleeves, long sleeves. I guess she doesn't get that it is natural to be attracted to someone based on things like their sense of humors or intelligience. Hell it's natural to be attracted to someone period. And shock of all shocks there is nothing wrong with it! I am really bugged because she is perpetuating that whole "walking porn" thing and that us girls are responsible for keeping men from having sex thoughts about us. These are the same type of people who blame the victim who was raped saying "If she had just worn that burkha she wouldn't have been raped" Puhlease!!

Sometimes I want to throw mormon women into a wall. Grrrrrrrrrrr!!!

If a male perspective helps any, I will add some fodder for your cannon. I have both: (1) sprung wood for a beautiful and intelligent woman who was covered with clothing, neck to wrist to ankle; (2) gone totally limp watching a completely nude woman in a porn who would otherwise be attractive if not for her lack of intelligence or attitude.

The state of dress (or undress) really has little bearing on attraction, at least for me. Maybe I'm abnormal -- wouldn't be the first accusation of such. ;)

Yikers. I can understand wanting to throw someone like that. Do you comment your real thoughts to that woman?
