Ho.ly.crap. Talk about an article to get under my skin in the morning
Seriously here, how can people profess to being "open minded" and talk bad about "preachy" people when they themselves are so close-minded to anything but their "feminism" "humanism" whatever label they give themselves for being about "acceptance"..when they themselves are so preachy about "liberation" and whatever else
"Ferguson says her company isn't on a mission to un-liberate women. 'Absolutely not. If people want to buy our suits we're thrilled, but they certainly don't have to,' Ferguson says. A person has to have strong convictions 'to wear our suits,' she says. If you have those convictions, 'you're not going to care about the liberation or if you get persecuted and made fun of.'
WholesomeWear may appeal to certain people of faith, but it also raises many lamentable body issues with which women grapple. Most women dread buying a swimsuit. The occasion is fraught with irrational feelings of inadequacy. Women often joke that they would wear a muumuu to the beach if they could. The truth is there's nothing to stop them from doing just that. But they know the cure for their insecurity is to let go of cultural expectations and their own skewed self-image. The answer is not to hide the body but to cheer for its ability to swim laps or just sedately float -- in a bit of form-fitting, aerodynamic nylon and Lycra. That's not immodesty; that's confidence."
She completely does not understand!! She's so wrapped up in herself, in her own "higher understanding" of humanity and freedom, that she's blind! But I forgot..all women of faith, all women with convictions are just doing it because they have "body issues" *rolls eyes*..hell why stop there, let's just say that women who don't want to have sex before marriage are afraid of their bodies and fear "liberation"! yeah!
whatever
