I saw this video for the first time earlier this week. I was so proud of those students for speaking so openly. I hope they aren't targeted for doing so.

2012-04-06T17:44:37.120-04:00

And my hope is that all the messages last weekend at conference of love, mercy, forgiveness, and not judging will temper any hateful responses to the video. I'm worried about that.

I want to read it too. And as a side, my cousin on the other side was, until her untimely death, involved in mormon literature as well. In case you're interested...

Meg had this once. The redness kept spreading beyond the markings, so they were pretty aggressive with the antibiotics. I'm glad you showed it to Kelli! It's always awesome to have a nurse in the house.

Come see them live! I have a free pass to the SD Zoo and an empty room with a queen sized bed waiting for you.

I'm going to keep pestering you to come out until you actually do it.

Welcome back!

2012-02-17T21:18:36.383-05:00

I try not to pay attention to this type of idiocy. The bubble world of some of these students makes me want to vomit - as if church members don't have enough to try and explain away already. I may be way outside the LDS norm (I transfered from BYU to UC Berkeley, after all), but I find these incidence to be beyond embarrassing, and definitely destructive.

You may have already read it, but here's a post by a friend of mine that I think you'd appreciate: http://bycommonconsent.com/2011/11/10/leggings-modesty-and-efy/

2012-02-17T13:42:20.035-05:00

I just want to clarify that there are lots of people at BYU that don't think like this. (Either that or I WAS living under a rock when I went to school there.) I was kind of a rebel at the school, though. I even wrote a few articles for the alternative student paper.

On the other hand, I remember being taught that the purpose of modesty is to show respect for yourself and to acknowledge that your body is "the temple of God." I did later hear from random other girls about helping men have pure thoughts, but I thought it was pretty asinine so I ignored it.

I hope Young Women's leaders are teaching them self respect first, but I have seen plenty of evidence that it is high time to update the manuals. How do we make that happen, anyway? Can I volunteer? I am an editor after all.

2012-02-17T10:33:07.569-05:00

You know who else blames women's dress on mens' poor behavior and inability to control themselves? The Taliban. Maybe BYU should adopt a Burka-only attire to please these guys that lack self control! hahaha

I heard about this. My guess is the guy who wrote the note has a porn problem and goes around undressing women with his eyes. Just a guess.
