[on the Colorado bill concerning access to public accommodations]

Actually, we're getting to these restrooms because of the family restrooms. All this stuff gets past us one step at a time. They sell it to us in ways we will buy, and it always sounds good at first. But, c'mon, this agenda follows a pretty predictible set of steps towards setting our kids up.

When those family bathrooms popped up at a mall near all of us, some did warn that they were a stepping stone to this, because they helped to blur the line. Bathrooms should be confined to one sex. This is how we get trouble. Opposite sex people in the same restrooms.....what?.....oh, but it's for families.....how nice.? Well, no one was ever enforcing that! It's a free for all, under the ironice label of "family." How they must be howling with evil glee.

Kids love new things so they go in those so-called family bathrooms while shopping with friends at the mall.....teen girls can go in there and so can boys.....anyone can be in there.....it isn't just daddies changing diapers or helping little girls use the restroom. No one stops lone male predators from entering that bathroom, either. Welcome to the jungle. Now they can just take away the "family" pretense and say both it's a "multi" gender restroom. How sad that we have more than two genders, huh?

Lord, come quickly!

I was doing counseling with victims of sexual assault at a secular agency. Yes, I understand that what a woman wears has nothing to do with "traitional" rape (which is a matter of control and/or anger, not sex), but after talking to some of these women, I got to wondering what ever happened to common sense. Young women would go out with guys wearing clothing that left little or nothing to the imagination, have quite a few drinks, go back to the guy's place....then call us to complain that they'd been "assaulted!" Hello? You dress like a streetwalker, both of you get drunk....what did you THINK he was asking you to his apartment for - a Bible study?

I suggested to the head of the organization that we start a City-wide campaign, along the lines of, "If you want to be treated like a lady, try dressing like one." There IS a campaign with billboards and signs on the sides of buses about waiting until marriage before having sex (from a different agency); I wanted to take it a step further. Guess what? Virtually ALL the (female) counselors had a fit when I suggested such a thing; they claimed they had a "right" to wear anything they want! I tried the tact of, "Doesn't it bother you to have your husbands looking at all these half-naked girls?", to which I was told, "If my husband can't control himself, that's HIS problem!"

I really couldn't continue on there - they were "helping" girls after the fact, but doing nothing to prevent them being assaulted in the first place - it was like pulling out a band-aid after telling someone it was OK to stick her hand in a chainsaw. (And let me reiterate, because I always get a lot of flak on this - what a woman wears has NOTHING to do with traditional rape; I'm talking about date rape, so-called sexual assault, and driving a man - when both parties are often drunk and/or on drugs - into a frenzy, then primly saying, "No means no!") Because these women have no common sense, men's lives are litterally being destroyed with criminal records that will follow them the rest of their days.
