In reply to the discussion: If women have to get their tits out to make a point, so be it. [View all]polly7
(20,582 posts)358. So the HOF warriors came out as a team to label a father who wants
his daughters to see themselves confidently and not be ashamed of their own bodies as some kind of pervert??? Wow. You're all really angry over this, heh? Children feeling safe in their own home is a sin? I've seen seabeyond post a few times that her boys ran around a lot naked ....... did you report her to CPS for that? What you're doing here is really sick and disgusting, you know. You should be ashamed of yourselves, but I don't think you're capable.
