The Duggar Way of keeping men's eyes pure

[Generic Other]

In the book “Growing Up Duggar,” the Duggar daughters write that their family has a code word (“Nike”) that they use to warn their dad and brothers to keep their eyes on their shoes when a woman who is deemed to be too immodestly dressed is approaching, “to help keep the guys’ eyes from seeing things they shouldn’t be seeing.”

2. Looks like he.......er...it's ready for liftoff!

[Hoppy]

3. Shit. That's nuthin'. My dogs got a red rocket.

[shenmue]

4. 'Cause it's their fault, you see

Danged wimmens, trying to wear clothes and stuff.

[Tree-Hugger]

5. Do these fucking males take ANY responsibility?

They expect women to remind them to avert their eyes from other women? These fundamentalist cults are immoral and satanic.

6. I hope they stone those scantily clad harlots.

There's nothing worse than a fallen woman tempting good Christian men with a peek at her knee.

7. They also don't go swimming

Forget where I read it--a People magazine at the doctor's, I think--but the family doesn't go to pools or beaches lest the menfolk get a glimpse of women's bodies.

20. Of course not. Those tramps have willfully grown boobies to lay a trap for good Christian menfolk.

8. I suppose that "Nike" is better than raping children

You know, their other approved tactic.

11. Swoosh! n/t

[Javaman]

9. impossibility of self control.

for a group of religious zealots I find it interesting that the men in the family are unable to exhibit a little self control.

as much as they teach women to be subservient to men, they also seem teach the men that they have no self control.

what a bunch of clowns indeed.

19. Nike, nike, incoming women.

Hide your heads, avert your eyes, there are women on the road.

[Javaman]

21. what a truly bizarre way to live ones life. nt

[iemitsu]

22. Seems bizarre to me.

[babydollhead]

10. "Just do it" nt

[Saphire]

12. I'll bet they have to say that a lot...creeps.

[Ace Rothstein]

13. It is obviously the way to raise male children.

They've raised a fine, upstanding young man in Josh Duggar.

[hamsterjill]

18. The winner!

Well put!

[MisterP]

14. they loathe women--but they're not that keen on men, either!

it's like with the white supremacists: they never do seem to encounter any *real* white people that ever meet their approval, do they?

[hifiguy]

15. The real, hardcore fundies truly hate their own humanity at a bone-deep level.

They think it keeps them from being "closer to gawd" or some such incomprehensible nonsense.

16. i always thought the side hugs with siblings was weird

I'm thinking a lot of these things started because of the issues with josh duggar.
