(146,218 posts)look at the organizations. One is Franciscan nuns with a very girl/woman focus. The other seems to be a pregnancy counseling service which does appear to be anti-abortion. Knowing that does change my perspective, but I still want to assess this independent of that.
I didn't read it the way you did. I felt like it was a positive image that girls are more than just objects and that their personal characteristics are the most important things about them. The list of adjectives are really positive and things that a lot of girls don't get much reinforcement for. Girls with those characteristics are much more likely to control their own bodies and their own sexuality.
It's not about men protecting women as much as respecting them. Date rape is a real thing. Girls without confidence are easy prey for boys.
Love FFRF, but I think Grover is way off here. I just don't see garbage in a message that lists all the positive things about girls.
I understand that others are interpreting this very differently and that the posters have been removed. I'm cool with that, but I think there might have been a way to do this that would have led to a very positive message.
