As the mother of a little girl, I have become a bit prude-ish. I push the buggy down the magazine aisle and am fully aware of the words and images staring back at me. We drive down the road, the billboards much too saucy. It's frightening, this place we live in. And truthfully, it took my "mother-eyes" to really grasp the depraved state we are in. I suppose this stems from understanding that LOML and I have the daunting task of protecting our Little One from the evil one.
In James Dobson's book Bringing Up Girls, he quotes Michelle Malkin, columnist and tv commentator:
The Love of My Life and I pray daily that the Lord would grant us wisdom and discernment when it comes to bringing up Little One. We are prepared to fight for her heart. There can be no passivity. There can be no disconnect. There can be no fear.
I'm okay with being a prude.
In James Dobson's book Bringing Up Girls, he quotes Michelle Malkin, columnist and tv commentator:
"I am increasingly dismayed by the liberal assault on decency, the normalization of promiscuity, and the mainstream media's role as shameless collaborators...When conservative women say, 'Have some self respect,' liberals in the media call us self righteous. When conservative women say promiscuity is degrading and self-destructive, liberals in the media call us prudes. When liberal women raise their voices, they are praised as 'passionate.' When conservative women raise our voices, we are condemned as 'shrill.' Be 'prudes. Be 'rude.' Be 'shrill.' And never, ever feel ashamed for asking out loud, 'Have you no shame?'"
The Love of My Life and I pray daily that the Lord would grant us wisdom and discernment when it comes to bringing up Little One. We are prepared to fight for her heart. There can be no passivity. There can be no disconnect. There can be no fear.

Wholeheartedly agree... I'm scared out of my mind to raise a girl in a world where Miley Cirus is Disney.
Can I join the club??? Well said!
I am right there with you! I was watching something on tv the other day about the clothing (or lack thereof) the manufacturers are making now targeting girls that are "tweens" (like 8-13). I was horrified!
