Modesty Monday 6 – My idea of modesty
I don’t think I ever appreciated how quickly Mondays sneak up on you until I had the bright idea to start a blog series that runs on Mondays. Brilliant, Katie. Anyway, time for my idea (sorry to bore you, drum up a guest poster and we’ll have interesting new spins!). I don’t ever remember hearing [...]
Um, I’m sorry, I’m unworldly, unattractive and unpleasant?
Guys, guys, you’ll never believe it. First, there was this CRAZY spike in my views the other day & I did a great imitation of the kangaroo in “Ze end of ze world,” popping my head from under the snow of nuclear winter & quipping, “WTF mate?” So I clicked a link or two & [...]
Modesty Monday 5 – Wood Turtle’s take on Modesty
So I took two weeks off, I apologize. But I’m psyched to get back to exploring different concepts of modesty for women from different backgrounds. Today my guest writer is Wood Turtle, who blogs brilliantly about Islam, Feminism, and motherhood. She’s currently expecting her second, (any day now!) and was enormously gracious and still managed [...]
Modesty Monday 4 – Nikkiana’s idea of Modesty
As I head into a fourth week of asking women from backgrounds, faiths, and walks of life to talk to us about their concept of modesty, I have to take a second to say how honored I am that so many awesome women have been willing to share their perspectives. I also want to thank [...]
Modesty Monday 2 – Rachel’s idea of Modesty
[I'd like to preface her post with this gentle reminder that I, alone control the comment section for this page, and I do so with a pc-meter finely tuned by an upbringing in an easily-offended blue-state. So I encourage everyone to be loving and accepting - you know, like Jesus.] For today’s Modesty Monday post, [...]
Modesty Monday
At long last! I can start my Modesty series with a guest post from the wonderful Stacy over at Catholic & Crunchy! But first things first, let’s define modesty – as it is frequently confused with Humility, and these are not the same. What’s telling when you look this word up, the many (many) ads [...]
On being Pro-Life and Christian
So, if you have read my post on the things that the pro-life movement does which I find faulty, or my post on how I came to be Pro-Life in the first place, and if you enjoyed them, then I strongly recommend you read these: Caffeinated Catholic Mama’s Offering Hands and Hearts cautions those of us on [...]
You’re doing it Wrong: 4 things about the Pro-Life movement that drove me away in the first place (and which still irritate me to no end)
You may have read a post I wrote about my struggles with the Pro-Life movement. I am confidently and firmly pro-life, but I am still not comfortable as part of the pro-life movement. I will write grants for crisis pregnancy centers, I’ll bring water bottles and sandwiches to the end of the Pro-Life march on [...]
Active Participation vs. Helpless Victim
You may noticed that I’ve had quite a bug up my butt the last couple of days. As Inigo Montoya said in The Princess Bride: Let me ‘splain – – no, is too much, let me sum up One of the things that I love about our Church is that there is a place – [...]
Let’s try another way
So I’ve had a lot of conversations – and gotten a lot of awesome feedback – on the topic of yesterday’s post about modesty & responsibility. I reiterate that I think we as a culture would all benefit from a legitimate study of gender roles (as well as race relations) – but I think I have [...]
