Right on the heels of a supposedly Christian friend posting a nudie picture of a Red Sox fan with her breasts exposed for 'team spirit,' came the bra color kerfuffle.
The whole thing was supposedly a gimmick to draw attention to breast cancer. This kind of thing has actually resulted in a new term: Slacktivism. Posting the color of their bra does nothing to draw attention to breast cancer, but rather specifically to the BREASTS of the woman posting.
here is the original text of the 'bra color' campaign
Just write the color of your bra in your status. Just the color, nothing else. And send this on to ONLY girls no men. ... It will be neat to see if this will spread the wings of cancer awareness. It will be fun to see how long it takes before the men will wonder why all the girls have a color in their status... Haha!
Haha 'fun'?
WHY? I can think of a lot more fun things to do. Including shoveling snow when it's 3 degrees outside.
It seems pretty plain to me and most of the women I've talked to that this is a game to play, with men's minds as the object, and not a breast cancer campaign. The only reason it could be considered 'fun' is if you consider riling men up fun. I don't, I would rather treat them with respect, as equals. If non Christian women want to subjugate themselves by playing at being a sex object, they are free to do that (although it is still wrong for them as well,) but my Christian friends should really know better, especially grown married women.
Several Christian women were offended that we would take offense, and told us to loosen up, lighten up, prudes, and insinuations were made that we were not joy filled. Yadda yadda...
A friend of mine on facebook wrote a very good short note about all this:
Breast Cancer Awareness:
Apparently there is another one now which uses hairstyles:
My apologies for posting this, but it shows their intent quite plainly for what it is, and what many of us insisted it was the other day while a few 'Christians' told us to 'lighten up, it's just innocent fun.' I am posting it as is. After all I don't want to be thought a prude!
The color thing got the boys so riled up yesterday and today, we thought we'd try this again... This will get them thinking. Let's see how dirty their minds are. Ok, so this is the game - It's about how you have your hair styled....If its up, write ON TOP If its down and up at either side of the face, write SIDE BY SIDE If it's long & straight, write GIVE IT TO ME STRAIGHT If its just a complete mess, write EVERYWHERE N MESSYYou get the picture!... remember to place it as your status update. Let's see if they get this one! but ONLY SEND to GIRLS!!!!!...
None of this should have been participated in by Christians. It does nothing for the cause and only shows one's complete lack of Biblical modesty.
If you did participate, I beg you to examine your heart, confess this as the sin it is,
