The Few, The Proud

What is the world coming to?

I ask you...

Once, when I was a Huey crewchief stationed on Oahu in the military, we went back for another look-see at a gal sunbathing nude on a North Shore beach. A guy came running out of the bungalow pointing at us, and she then ran for cover. We didn't crash...

Men.

I used to love our house in the desert because our pool was raised up off the ground. It had a really pretty lattice underpinning underneath it so it wasn't ugly, and a fence around it so you could sunbathe in complete privacy...

...except for the local air traffic. Needless to say I always kept a sarong handy.

Now our enemies have yet another way to bring down our aircraft...

So I look a the picture accompanying the item and I really don't get it. She appears to have the upper body physique of a teenage boy. Certainly nothing to crash a helicopter over.

I'm digging the diamond collar and heels, though.

Let's not give Kate an inferiority complex, I think she is just fine the way God made her. But then I am more of a leg man.

Kate Hudson is cuddly wuddly adorable...much like a Commander Sugar Buttons over at the Castle. But she is a female and I am into men, so she isn't something I would crash my chopper over...but Sean Connery? Hm...

*wonders if she could get over her fear of flying and choppers to get Cmdr Cugar Buttons to fly over Sean Connery*

I hope the Marines weren't injured? The story doesn't mention that, I suppose unimportant, detail.

I hope they weren't injured either, but after all the horrid stuff I have been hearing over the last few weeks, this is mild and innocent and normal.
Boys will be boys.

heh.

Bless you Pile :)

Though not quite as "petite" as Kate, my husband is also more of a "leg man". It takes all kinds, and we ladies are happy that is the case. In these days of overaggressive plastic surgery, some of us are really beginning to feel like there is something wrong with us.

And by the way, I think she is very pretty.

*sigh* I lose points again, I'm a simple butt man myself!

Life is soooo haaaaard!

When Kate Hudson is 50 she will still be quite fetching. Her more well endowed counterparts will...uh.....discretion/valor.

I think women are beautiful in all shapes and sizes, just as men are.

I have been reading how in Camaroon they are ironing little girls' breasts to make them flat so men will not be attracted to them and abuse them. We think other cultures are "sick" because they teach their young girls they must mutilate themselves so men will not desire them.

Over here we teach our girls they aren't good enough the way God made them and they must cut themselves up so men will want them.

I have to ask myself: which is worse?

When will my own sex wake up and demand better out of life?

Sometime I am so angry I really do not know what to say.

Posted by: Cassandra at July 20, 2006 04:44 PM

Uhmmm, I can't help what I find attractive. But I certainly can control my behavior.

If men in Cameroon are preying on underage girls I have no problem calling that sick. It isn't the little girls who need to change it is the men who would prey upon them.

I tried to teach my sons that people will, in the end, take you at the value you set on yourself.

But that's a hard lesson in a culture that places such a high price on externalities. It can take a lot of patience, and you need to be sure you are not judging others on the very values you don't wish to be judged by. And it's hardest of all for women, especially if they're not attractive. But for men too - especially the ones who are decent and good, but who for whatever reason don't come off well on first impression (the non-alpha male types).

I tried so hard with my boys to get them not to judge boys like that harshly. One of my sons paid a really high price in middle school for befriending a boy like that. He was ostracized because the other kids didn't think his friend was "cool" enough and he wouldn't abandon him just to please the crowd.

I have never been prouder of my son, but it wounded him, and his self image, deeply. But in the long run, it also made him a stronger person and a better man. He stuck by his guns, and by his friend. I love my son. He is a good man, and a good cop. He doesn't take his self-worth from other people, and that is so cool. He has the confidence to think for himself. Both my sons do. They get that from their father.
