This brings back childhood memories for me. My mother always warned me about those "bad girls." When I got engaged to a woman who would be attending seminary, my father asked me why I would want to marry a "damned radical." Pam and I laugh about that comment until this day.

I'm glad you two can laugh about it! 🤣🤦🏼‍♀️

Much to process here….oh yes the Proverb’s woman and the purity culture. Yes to having heard that too many times to count-in a greeting class we took at the patriarchal church I grew up in, we women were told to watch what we wore….my Mom, bless her heart, raised her hand and asked the pastor about whether he was going to warn the men in the class about wearing tight pants….😂. I think it’s the only time this man was at a loss for words! Always always always on us girls to keep those boys on the straight and narrow. 🤦🏻‍♀️. I always have loved that passage from Luke. Of course I NEVER heard that passage preached on! Dismantling the system and calling the BS out when seen and in practice isn’t done much in the “C” church… Interesting how Church going Christians themselves - both men and women- are the ones that don’t want to hear the message in my sphere…. Keep preaching sister - these messages need to be used in classrooms everywhere!!!!

Thank you, Sue! And that comment from your mom forever endeared her to me ♥️ Interestingly, I don't recall ever hearing either preached....
