They’re Still Out There…

…the fundies, that is. There may well’ve been a Democratic landslide in Congress but the religious nutjobs didn’t automagically disappear the instant the results were announced.

They’re still out there, dressing up their female children and parading them as religio-sexual fetish objects, as in this video of a Purity Ball from Florida:

They fuck you up, your mum and dad.

They may not mean to, but they do.

They fill you with the faults they had

And add some extra, just for you.

But they were fucked up in their turn

By fools in old-style hats and coats,

Who half the time were soppy-stern

And half at one another’s throats.

Man hands on misery to man.

It deepens like a coastal shelf.

Get out as early as you can,

And don’t have any kids yourself.

Philip LarkinThis Be The Verse

The candlelight, the pretty dresses, the makeup, the cleavage, the vows, the romantic music, the pretty young things ……. the lecherous, middle-aged balding men. Even if 2/3 of them weren’t thinking of their own daughter in that way, I bet they were checking themselves out some nubile teenage ass during the father/daughter waltz.

Shudder.

Been there, done that, bought the t-shirt, washed the t-shirt 23 times, threw the t-shirt in the ragbag, now I'm polishing furniture with it.
