What kind of woman?



Some far right religious types rocked up to New York Pride yesterday with their normal gay is bad bollocks... while perusing the pictures of these nuts on the interwebs I noticed this woman in the background. Forgive the quality of the image but I had to big it up to believe it...

I am not trying to be sarcastic when I ask this question.... BUT WHAT KIND OF SELF HATING WOMAN STANDS IN THE STREET HOLDING A SIGN REQUESTING SHE BE TREATED LIKE CHATTEL?

Seriously? Who the fuck self harms in that way?

You never know what kind of situation she lives in. Sometimes it is not possible to leave even if you want to and sometimes you have to play along to be able to plan. Who knows? It makes me ill but I have dealt with quite a few women who are so afraid, so controlled that they will do anything to keep the peace. There are often serious reasons.

Personally I would rather be beaten within an inch of my life than do this but that is me. If the threat was to my kids and I had no way to protect them I would be that woman right there.

"Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything, to try to please them, not to talk back to them, and not to steal from them, but to show that they can be fully trusted, so that in every way they will make the teaching about God our Savior attractive."

HEY ALL YOU SLAVES, BE NICE

NO STEALING

NO BACKTALK
