Girls Are ‘Just Asking For It’


Billboard Tells Girls to Cover up:

GIRLS
IF IT’S NOT FOR SALE
DON’T ADVERTISE


You guessed it, this is yet another effort by yet another sex obsessed abstinence organization:

“While some find the message sexist in the way it targets girls, Scott Hughes, director of Just Wait, says it's really more about teenage boys.

’Guys are turned on visually by what they see, so it's really saying guys aren't men enough to control themselves, therefore you have to be careful on how you present yourself,' says Hughes."

Yeah, Scott, we’ve heard that before. That was once the rationale for the rule about women keeping quiet in the Church. Women speaking up in Church might cause men to have ungodly reactions. Men just can't control themselves.

Good God! This is what year??
