I've seen this posted by one of my relatives...but I am not shocked because I was raised hearing the same shit. Because boys just can't help themselves if you bare your shoulders. One of the main reasons I left the Mormon church was because how they treat women vs. men...sure, men are told they shouldn't engage in sexual activities or the like, but it's always on the women to make sure it doesn't happen, because boys will be boys and they just can't help it. I would never want to raise a daughter in that environment. I left the church over 10 years ago, and I still struggle with guilty feelings sometimes.
Is this really about rape? Like cover up before you get raped or you lose value? I guess that's not at all how I'm reading into this.
I thought it was more "don't wear your hoochie skirt or you're less than"
Well, how else do you draw the tenuous parallel to protecting an iPad? You don't cover the iPad to preserve it's dignity. It's to prevent physical damage. That's all putting aside the fact that if that's what he was going for, it a) doesn't make ANY kind of logical sense and b) is still extremely insulting and gross.

Does it matter?
Well on my Rage'o'meter I guess it is. I take victim blaming far more seriously than modesty for religious purposes? Obviously attaching your worth to skin coverage is dumb AF and I'm not defending it in any manner.
My iPad case is clear- I am unsure if my iPad is a whore or not, can someone help me?
LOL!
Mine is black and pink, but it's dirty and looks like it's been around the block a few times.
I should probably just trash it, I mean even though it's old, and still works perfectly, it's got a couple dents in the corners from not being covered enough. it's basically worthless.

And I never got this argument. Because if boys can't control base urges, then how can anyone argue that they should be in charge of anything? If they are run by biology and not by their minds/brains, then they should be surgically made to be docile and, we women, who clearly know how to take care of things, should be in charge of everything. I honestly think their argument goes against their argument for men being the 'higher and better of the species'.
I am creeper out the sexual tones that come across from a dad to his daughter. Same goes for purity dances and the rings given to them by their father. There is something so off in the whole thing. Are the men that vested in their son's sex life? Do they care THAT much?

I've had a couple of acquaintances post that on facebook, and I was appalled. First, girls/women are not electronics or material possessions. Second, nothing about the way girls/women dress devalues them. What a gross thing to teach girls, and even a worse thing to teach boys (that only "chaste" or "modest" women have value). I would NEVER teach my sons such garbage. And they would get an earful from me if I ever heard them say such a thing.

But they won't get pregnant and you will, so they can KOKO and poor you are stuck raising the baby. So that's why they get to do whatever they want whenever they want. Also, if they get an erection because you are showing your coochie, they'll get blue balls if they don't rape you and that can cause DAMAGE.
My ipad has no cover or scratch protector. #rebel (also, that whole thing is fucking gross and I'd kick my husband square in the junk if I heard him say shit like that to one of our daughters... but luckily he's not a raging misogynist)
