4. Quote from Sydney Biddle Barrows.

Who was Sydney Biddle Barrows, you ask.....

Sydney Biddle Barrows was arrested in New York City for running a prostitution ring and became known as The Mayflower Madam.

Yes ladies and gentleman, some moron at Gregory-Lincoln Middle School decided to inspire the boys and girls who go to school there with the words of a rich hooker.

You. Can. Not. Make. This. Shit. Up.

9. The more you act like a lady,

The more you make yourself a target of pigs and perverts.

23. The more you act like a lady,

The more you'll get molested by Middle School Faculty and Chief School Administrators.

10. Why not

"Just lay back, point your heels to Jesus and think of handbags"?

11. "She made me do it."

Wow.

12. Par For the Course

When has responsibility for the behaviors of men and boys not be placed on women and girls. We just went through an election in which a woman was criticized for the actions of her husband. During that same election and man was found not guilty of raping a women because of what she wore on the day he drugged her and had sex with her.

14. This is the intent of the quote: Its not to protect women, its ...

there to protect sexual predators because after all boys will be boys and women have to take care of themselves. Victim blaming 101.

The source of the quote makes me think whoever had this put up thinks HE'S a funny/ironic guy. Fire his ass.

16. Someone should paint right below that...

The more of a dick he is, the harder I will kick him in the balls

[alwaysinasnit]

17. Wouldn't it be nice if someone painted the following beneath that piece of crap...

As the above implies that males have no self-control, then the best solution is to put chastity belts on them.

20. Exactly.

I thought this kind of nonsense mentality went out when I was in high school.

We actually had an older (unmarried) female teacher who went around to girls telling them: not to wear patent leather shoes (because that boys could see the reflection of their underwear in those shoes); not to wear red clothing (because red is too passionate of a color and it would "turn the boys on&quot , not to come to school on "those" days (because boys could smell their hormones and would not be able to control themselves), and other such utter rot. She also demanded that the school cafeteria stop putting tables cloths (they were plastic) on the tables at lunch time because it would remind the boys of bed sheets.

She believed that responsibility for boys' behavior rested with the girls.

I really thought this was stuff for the archives, not actual content in 2018.

21. Oh boy, you have brought back memories from my childhood with your post.

We were required to wear dresses so we were a bit constrained when we went out for recess. Happily for me, we did have one teacher who strongly suggested we wear shorts underneath and that that would help to stop accusations that we girls where "inciting" the boys.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

24. Did the girls' dresses have to reach the floor when they were on their knees ?

That's one of the things this teacher did. She'd make the girls get on their knees and if their dresses didn't touch the floor, then they were too short.

[alwaysinasnit]

25. Not exactly, but if your knees were fully visible, you could be sent to the principal's office.

28. I wonder what they had to do with these two old bats when

mini-skirts and hot-pants came along !! Probably sedate them in the teachers' lounge. Or give them earlier retirement.

[alwaysinasnit]

30. After their fainting spells, I imagine they were quite happy to take early retirement. haha

[Takket]

18. Update.............

a few hours later.... it is coming down LOL

Power to the people............ but just because a quote gets painted over doesn't mean the culture that supported it to begin with doesn't still exist........... hope the parents of kids there stay vigilant.

22. Excellent.

Gotta wonder whose brilliant idea it was to put it up.

[BarbD]

19. Are we still blaming Eve for Adam eating the apple?

Takes me back to parochial school when the girls were told not to be an occasion of sin.

[raging moderate]

26. This is how it was in the fifties.

Ann Landers told the world that, if a boy/man molested you sexually, you must have subconsciously wanted it and sent out subconscious signals that attracted him. It was a girl's responsibility to control her subconscious libido which obviously had all the power in a relationship with a male.

Because, obviously, a male could not control himself.

29. Man created God to control woman.

We were told in Sunday school that God is neither male nor female. I got in trouble for asking why we referred to God as Father & Son, & if God didn't have a gender, why don't we have a special pronoun for God? It wasn't the only time I got in trouble for asking "inappropriate questions" at church.

27. Replace it with

"Well-behaved women seldom make history!"
