On modesty

Hello gentle readers,



It's been some time since I last posted. I would apologise but I've been terribly busy tending to my husband's needs and going to church so I'm afraid those priorities come first. Anyway, I'm here now and I have a few moments to talk about an issue which has become near and dear to my heart - modesty.



Now there's been much discussion, dear readers, about feminine modesty and dressing appropriately for the lord and your husband/future husband, and right it is too - I for one do not wish my dear husband's eyes to be assaulted by the alluring glimpse of the curve of a woman's armpit or the tantalising vision of her bra strap. Heaven knows what lusts that would inspire in poor Mr Wimpleton's heart! No. Feminine modesty is essential. Women's curves are a temptation to men and should be covered up, only to be revealed to her husband in the sanctity of the marriage bedroom. After all if men cannot see women's bodies as anything but sexual it is up to us to make sure they can't see them at all!



But I digress. Yes, there has been much said on the topic of feminine modesty, but not much about the equally important masculine modesty. Dear readers, why only the other day I was innocently driving my car around a certain a local bathing area and I spied a young man clad ONLY IN HIS SWIMMING TRUNKS! Why, at the sight of his tanned, muscular back I was so shocked that I almost drove off the road and into a bus shelter. Just as Mr Wimpleton's eyes need to be shielded from temptation, so too do mine! Afterall, we are the weaker sex and if our wise and strong husbands are unable to control their impure thoughts at the sight of a belly button, then how will we females, sinful creatures that we are expected to do the same when at every juncture we are confronted by scantily clad men! Just as a unbuttoned top button can give an unsuspecting man an eyeful that greatly disturbs his sense of decency and propriety, so too can a bare leg beneath football shorts, or a muscular chest glistening with perspiration - oh dear me, the very thought vexs my spirit greatly.



But what can be done? Dear readers, I beg you, teach your sons propriety, teach them to keep their bodies covered for their wives' eyes only, to dress modestly for God and their families and demonstrate how a true Christian should comport themselves.



But what is modest dress for a man? I hear you ask. Well the answer dear readers is purely subjective but as a rule of thumb, anything that doesn't inspire lust in the heart of others - so no short shorts, or bare chests, no rippling muscled thighs or abs. Keep it all tucked away under a nice button up shirt and long slacks.



And by both males and females practicing modesty, hopefully we shall keep all our minds pure of thought without any nasty temptations to control ourselves over.



yours,

Harriet

Well done!

Five choc chip brownies to the makers of this film!

Of course I initially thought it was a cinematic version of that book of dubious sincerity (women dressed up as soldiers, vampires, what else!) by that scallywag Terry Pratchett*, but no, it's much better, a rousing condemnation of those wicked feminist creatures, immodesty, abortion and all those nasty unladylike things. Well done Gunn Brothers! It's about time right thinking people made one of those documentaries to tell the proper side of the story unlike that unpleasant left-wing fellow, Michael Moore - I'll tell you what's the Awful Truth, that man's sense of propriety!

But back to the movie, it even has one of the lovely ladies from Ladies Against Feminism speaking very eloquently. Of course detractors might say that it's made by men beating their misogynist drum but I disagree. The brothers Gunn have drawn together the thoughts of many respectable and intelligent ladies and present a very unbiased point of view as extolled by the great religious man, John Knox. If only life were more like that of the 16th Century! True, the Taliban would also like to live in the 16th Century but I'm sure their 16th Century is completely different to mine - more sandy with less attention to hygiene for a start. And, quite frankly if Hilary Clinton was at home baking cookies her husband might not have strayed!

I did laugh to myself when I saw the name of the feedback section on the site - "hate male"- because most of the letter writers were dreadful men hating feminists! LOL! I felt like writing a sharp response to the nasty letters to the poor Gunn Brothers who are only trying to follow the Lord's word, but it is not my place to speak up in defence of men.

As they say in the FAQ:
"The Gunn Brothers believe women to be unique, essential, and valuable. They believe that women are to be revered and honored for their God given place in society and not diminished by ignoring the fundamental aspects of their gender."

So true! Women should know their place - in the kitchen, raising their children and serving and respecting their husband. Ladies, to our husbands we should be like the servant, gratefully serving their master - servants are essential, unique AND valuable - after all would you really expect a master to iron his own shirts or cook his own meal? And a good servant is so hard to replace! And as for unique, no one else except the other 50% of the human population can bear children. We certainly don't want to diminish women by forcing them to do jobs they aren't suited for like being a mathematician or soldier or President!

Well, I've become quite overwrought merely thinking about it. I do hope I haven't distressed anyone with my post - if so, then do what I do when I'm feeling a little at odds with the world, and have a flick through my favourite hat catalogue.

* I've also learnt where the phrase 'monstrous regiment' came from in the first place and a day in which we learn something is never wasted.

Disgusted!

Well, I was innocently browsing the internet today and came across this disgusting website:

http://www.allowe.com/Humor/femalePorn.htm

How degrading! I hope you all take a good hard look at this site - I'm sure you'll find it as disturbing and humiliating as I did. Good heavens, I nearly blushed. I'm very glad Mr Wimpleton didn't walk into the computer room while I was viewing it - what would he have said!!

Introduction

Hello,

I should introduce myself as well - my name is Harriet Wimpleton. I have a wonderful husband - yes - I have a husband and I'm proud to say I submit to him in every way as the head of our lovely home. All you hairy husband-less frustrated feminists out there must be grinding your teeth in horror - fancy, a woman being proud of the firm hand of her husband, but if you read the Bible you'll see that it's very clear that woman is not intended to be above man (even in the bedroom - the missionary position is favoured by Christians for a reason and if your husband likes to play silly dominance games with you on top, I suggest you meekly advise him of this fact but always obey him, even if he insists you wear leather underwear and spank him with a wet fish). In fact it's stated several times in the bible that the man is the head of the house and his wife must obey him. Of course it also says that we shouldn't eat shellfish but I never did fancy oysters anyway. More homes would be happy homes if woman meekly listened to their dear husbands and did what they were told.

Well, I must say I like our new home. It's very pink and cheerful and I hope it will be instructive to all.

bless

Good evening all,
My name is Mrs Weatherby and Agnes to my friend unfortunately I spelt it wrong in my profile. I am not very use to using computers I prefer to darn my dear husbands socks. I have decided though that it is important to use the computer to get our message across as you may have gathered this blog supports Women against feminism yes that disguisting word women getting jobs other then be a servant to their husband and children. Women getting their own bank accounts and worst of all having ideas, their own may i add. yes it is a scary day and age this one but if you get joy from floor polish (sometimes i think it may be the smell), a sense of achievement from home schooling your children (even if it means at year 12 their reading level is that of a 8 year old) and nothing pleases you better then when your husband asks you to be quiet dear because this is men's business then this is the blog for you. god bless you.
Mrs Weatherby

Intro Post

Hello, welcome to our new home. This is a place for insightful thoughts and delusions of grandeur.

Who are we? - The Maggie's Nest manifesto

We are the Magpie Sisters. We are ladies who believe in speaking our minds but keeping our homes nice.

We won't be having with this feminism guff. Women should be beaten regularly and chained to the kitchen sink - modestly of course - so as not to inspire lust in unsuspecting men (particularly their husbands). We are firm followers of Ladies Against Feminism and particularly like the idea of wearing Victorian style dresses everywhere. In fact we don't think they take things far enough and instead should encourage women to cover their heads as well. Afterall, how many men fall for a pretty face? Look at that cautionary tale "The Odyssey" which tells of that woman Helen showing off her face and launching ships left, right and centre. Disgusting.

But apart from working to make a nicer and more modest world we also like to keep things lovely on the homefront - after all if we don't keep our homes and fingernails clean, who knows what our husbands will do!

And although we may speak honestly on our blog, we like to refrain from sharp words at home. Sharp words are best kept for dealing with feminists and vegans, never husbands.

Please comment, but remember, if you can't say something nice, reword it to the best of your ability or at least make it funny.

xx
the Maggies
