Ugh, I saw 4 people on my feed share that nosy mom article. Here's my response. FYI if you're a teenage girl. Dear girls, I wish my sons weren't such horny little perverts. Why can't all you little tarts just wear burqas? Because they are uncontrollable clouds of hormones trying desperately to be pure little angels, please consider the male gaze in all your social media interaction. Please refrain from presenting yourself as a sex object. If you successfully do so, you might be able to marry one of my sons and engage in the right kind of sexual activity. I posted nearly-naked photos of them in this article which would make them appear as sex objects to their age-group peers of the opposite sex, so you know you're getting a good deal. Thanks in advance.

I really only use Facebook to encourage my friends and enter contests now-a-days anyway. My dad and his siblings use Facebook a lot and my sister taught even my grandmother how touse facebook so she can keep in touch with her granddaughter in Texas.

Sure, if you shorted, but the evidence for the conspiracy theory was that the price (supposedly) went up before 9/11, and as I understand it the selling half of shorting wouldn't cause a price increase, and by the time you need to buy 9/11 has already happened.

Honestly, if that's enough to disapprove of, what wouldn't be? My parents friended my wife and proceeded to just sit back and stalk her posts. Never posting anything of their own anywhere. Then when she'd post something that they could leverage, they'd send an email. Like she'd post that she was going to a concert near their town, then guilting her into bringing the kids, changing her plans, etc. They're pretty toxic in any case, so she defriended them, which caused even more drama. This was before silent blocking I believe. So yeah, be careful with family on FB. I have them pre-emptively blocked and surprisingly they've never asked. And I have to remain 'unsearchable' on FB to avoid their antics.

I'd say something like "Dear [name of person who shared the article]; as much as I like you and truly believe that you are a good person on the inside, if you are going to post risqué pictures of shirtless boys flexing I will be forced to block you. I have three daughters whom I am trying to raise into proper ladies who respect the opposite sex and I can't chance them seeing these pictures and losing control over their loins."

The best reply I've seen yet: FYI (if you’re a teenage boy) Dear boys, I have some information that might interest you. Last night, as we sometimes do, our family sat around the dining-room table and looked through your social media photos. Because we’re creepy like that. We have a teenage daughter, and so naturally there are quite a few pictures of you handsome boys to wade through. Wow – you sure took a bunch of selfies in your pajamas this summer! Your bedrooms are so dirty! Don’t you know how to clean your rooms? Our nine-year-old son brought this to our attention, because with one older sister who has a room that smells like an old dead hamster, he notices boyish details like that. I think the girls notice other things. For one, it appears that you are not wearing a shirt. I get it – you’re in your room, so you’re heading to bed, right? But then I can’t help but notice the big muscles pose, the extra-arched back to show off your rock-hard abs, and the smirky grin. What’s up? None of these positions is one I naturally assume before sleep, this I know. Because I’m a woman. And rock hard abs left me four children ago. And I like to judge others based on my own standard behavior. So, here’s the bit that I think is important for you to realize. If you are friends with a daughter of mine on Facebook or Instagram or Twitter, then you are friends with the whole fam-dam-ly. Please understand this, also: we genuinely like keeping up with you. We enjoy seeing life through your unique and colorful lens – which is what makes your latest self-portrait so extremely unfortunate. You just aren’t good enough. We’re the Joneses. Now keep up with us. Those posts don’t reflect who you are! We think you are handsome and probably interesting, and, if I’m being generous, very smart. But, we had to cringe and wonder what you were trying to do? Who are you trying to reach? What are you trying to say? Because we literally have nothing better to do than judge and examine the lives of teenage boys. And now – big bummer – we have to block your posts. Because, the reason we have these (sometimes awkward) family conversations around the table is that we care about our daughter, just as we know your parents care about you. But not as much as we care about our kids because we’re totes better parents than your parents. I know your family would not be thrilled at the thought of my teenage daughter seeing you only in your towel. Did you know that once a female sees you in a state of undress, she can’t ever un-see it? You don’t want my daughter to only think of you in this sexual way, do you? Because if she does, it will be YOUR fault. Our daughter does not have free agency. She is incapable of controlling her thoughts and actions so you must do it for her. Seriously, she can’t. It’s some sort of chromosome condition that only occurs with the XX. Neither do we. I mean, I don’t want my daughter to think of you in a sexual way, but I’m not gonna try and make myself un-see a picture of Ryan Gosling in just a towel. I mean, yum. And It’s not like he’s a real person. And so, in our house, there are no second chances, boys. Because we’re just mean like that. I know, I know. We proclaim to be Christians who believe in the power of the atonement and all. But we’re not Jesus, so only he has to forgive you. Us? Well, we are just going to judge you all we can and shame you and infer that you’re giant bags of whore on the internet. If you want to stay friendly with the females in my family, you’ll have to keep your clothes on (unless you’re Ryan Gosling), and your posts decent. And interesting. I mean, no one wants to read that “Roman is having an okay day and bought a Coke Zero at the gas station.” All of your posts should revolve around me and what I find interesting. If you try to post a sexy selfie, or an inappropriate YouTube video – even once – you’ll be booted off our on-line island. Because like I said, there is zero tolerance for forgiveness in our family. Mess up once and it’s the guillotine. I know that sounds harsh and old-school, but that’s just the way it is under this roof for a while. We hope to raise women with a strong moral compass, and women of integrity don’t linger over pictures of scantily clad high-school boys. Women of integrity also don’t write incredibly mean, self-righteous posts that slut-shame teenage girls. Phew, luckily I didn’t do anything like that! Every day I pray for the men my girls will love. I hope they will be drawn to real handsome guy (not dorks. No dorks allowed in this super awesome fam), the kind of men who will leave them better people in the end. I also pray that my daughters will be worthy of this kind of man, that they will be patient – and act honorably – while they wait for him. Boys, it’s not too late! If you think you’ve made an on-line mistake (we all do – don’t fret – I’ve made some doozies), RUN to your accounts and take down anything that makes it easy for your female friends to imagine you naked in your bedroom. DO IT NOW! I AM THE EMPRESS OF ALL AND I COMMAND YOU TO TAKE DOWN ALL POSTS THAT DON’T MEET MY HIGH STANDARDS. But actually it is too late because we already blocked your skanky rear end profile because Jesus and no second chances. Will you trust me? There are girls out there waiting and hoping for men of character. Some young women are fighting the daily uphill battle to keep their minds pure, and their thoughts praiseworthy. And you shirtless boys in just your swim trunks are ruining it for them. You are making their minds impure and they have no control over it. None! It’s like you’re literally controlling their minds. You are growing into a real handsome dude, inside and out. Act like him, speak like him, post like him. Because no second chances. I’m glad we’re friends. But not like the for reals kind of friends. Like the passive aggressive kind who make really mean judgments about you and then write about it on the internet. Sincerely, Mrs. Judgmental Slut Shamer Jones

There was one particular instance where my aunt, who happens to be a photographer, had to delete her. Basically, a few months ago, there were some floods in the local area, so my aunt and some of her colleagues decide to hold special photography sessions for local charity purposes, which naturally was posted on her Facebook page. Naturally, my grandma then proceeds to send her an angry message accusing her of exploiting a tragedy to better her own business. There was also another instance of her, completely unprovoked, sending one of my best friends a message simply reading "Time to grow up and get real!!!!!!!!!!"

It's also worth noting that from all of the criticism she received, all she gathered evidently was that she needed to change the photos and not that there was anything at all wrong with the body of the article.

The one where they are leaning back and laughing is the best of the new bunch. Regardless, the fact that she chose the original pictures first seriously undermined any legitimacy she had for that post not being unaware vindictive slut shaming.

EDIT: Did my last refresh of the night before closing stuff up...  I don't even know. Can I report him? Aside from some vague misogyny he's not that terrible a person, at least until I saw this. There's another dude I have whose misogyny is much less vague, but it's still your run of the mill "a girlfriend should make her boyfriend's dick hard, not his life" crap. On the bright side, those two are among the few "Idiots" I still have around, so the dumb posts are limited. EDIT 2: Apparently when I pressed to hide the post, I also had an option to report it, so I did just that. Obviously a joke (I hope), but it's a distasteful and offensive one, so yeah, reported. Maybe something will come of it... Serperoth has a new favorite as of 22:55 on Sep 6, 2013 |

The Internet is the ultimate tool for reinforcing one's beliefs. You never have to question anything you believe or think critically about anything at all on the Internet, not if you don't want to. No matter what you believe, if you look hard enough, there are hundreds and hundreds of other people out there who believe as you do, and will write articles in support of that viewpoint and record videos and make image macros and they'll all get shared amongst your insular little community of fellow believers and everyone will nod along. Conspiracy theories which would have faded into total obscurity within months in the past can now self-perpetuate indefinitely, each individual believer reinforcing the beliefs of all the others and in turn being reinforced by them in an endless recursive circle-jerk.
