sammiealice's blog post - into the last 200 blogs

i am ready thighty 210 blogs i missed and i got to the one about 10 year old in the woman's locker room. and i know this was written before the freeing of the cleveland kidnap victims.

but here is my take. we are becoming more and more of an international society and, unfortunately, sick society. there are a lot of really bad people out there. the usa is still sexually very up tight and the sexes are still very seperate.

i once asked hubby why men seemed to be so much more homophobic than women. he said it was because of the gym culture--naked locker rooms and swimming naked in pools----they don't want to think that someone is "checking them out" while naked and they don't know it. i have never worried about a lesbian checking me out in a womens locker room but, maybe it happens. and there really is little difference which sex is "checking you out" in the locker room--is is still a little creepy when you think about it.

hubby said he was in the rest room while we were on vacation when a xxxxxxxx daughter came out of stall---her dad was waiting for her. the dad said nothing, she washed her hands, talked to her dad and left--no big thing.

walking along the beach in florida, saw the topless xxxxxxxx girls with their mom last november.

maybe we just need to losen up a bit. we try and teach our children not be be ashamed of sexuality. i can not tell you how many times i went to confession for mastrabation as a teen---the guilt and the damage i did to myself. if you don't make a big thing out it of, it moves to insignificants in the childs minds. and our fear of "the kid is checking me out" does not even exist.

where is the line---what is the age when it is not ok? i don't know any more but lines are blurring and maybe we just have to be more open to this occuring and losing some our privacy.

just my two cents. but i might have have paid real money to watch that cat fight.
