In the book Growing Up Duggar, the Duggar daughters write that their family has a code word (Nike) that they use to warn their dad and brothers to keep their eyes on their shoes when a woman who is deemed to be too immodestly dressed is approaching, to help keep the guys eyes from seeing things they shouldnt be seeing.

(3,370 posts)They expect women to remind them to avert their eyes from other women? These fundamentalist cults are immoral and satanic.

(62,534 posts)for a group of religious zealots I find it interesting that the men in the family are unable to exhibit a little self control.
as much as they teach women to be subservient to men, they also seem teach the men that they have no self control.
what a bunch of clowns indeed.
