Our children in this culture

September 26, 2014 by Johanne Brownrigg 4 Comments

I  read this story first thing this morning. I thought: “Should I post this so people know?” and decided not to. Too sick.

A little later,  my 18 year old daughter talked to me about her job, which she loves. She serves at a deli counter. She talked about crazy customers, rude and aggressive. Then she told me about the ignorant comments from some of the men. For example, when referring to how much Kolbassa he wanted, a guy said “the size of my penis”. She also mentioned that the girls would NOT call out  number 69. They would wait for the guy in the department to call it out.

Our daughters are in this culture. But I have serious concerns for our sons too. So I posted this. So you know.

    When someone asks for a “penis-sized” anything..I would cut a 1/2 inch portion. I suspect it might cut down on this kind of comments.

      Exactly what I was thinking… but then I thought it would be even better if the employees were empowered to simply tell the guy to get lost until he develops a sense of respect for other people: “Go away, we don’t serve your kind here!”

    I’m a mom, and so when I think about society at large I’m thinking about my children interacting within that society. I’m inclined to think it’s “worse” for young girls than it used to be, but then I remember being a bank teller and the kinds of comments you would get on the job and I think perhaps not so much has changed. What I think HAS changed is the general idea that if two people (or “20 TO 30”) say “yes” to something that makes it morally okay, that whatever they do to or with each other is fine because they gave consent. But we give little thought to how this golden rule of so-called mutual consent plays into the hands of those with more power, more money, more clout, more influence etc. It’s quite a violent rule of moral law if you think about it with any imagination.
