bras were a cheaper alternative to corsets. and yes, they were popular and not as oppressive as hollywood would have you believe, and they were considered good for back support. Bras didn't need nearly as much metal or time. And since they were cheaper, they were more common. At least, from things I've heard elsewhere.
In case anyone is not sure, this behavior is completely normal in the Christian circles. The number of times I heard people, preachers, or whoever blame the victim for causing the man of god to stumble is far more than you would want to know, and was every time.
One thing to understand about many Christian groups is that they elevate their preachers to a very high standing and believe that they are "so close to the Lord" that they just don't do bad things. So, in order to preserve this cognitive dissonance, it's the child that tempted them to sin.
Well, I just got blocked for replying all to an email with two recipients and now I can't access my email, calendar, passwords, or VPN, so that's great.
You guys and gals a pretty cool!
Ok, a lot react way too hard at stuff (I've done it a bit too, check my comment history).
But overall, a reasonable online space.
yeah, this is literally a public forum. Everything posted is public. Nothing is private.
