Woman's Rite Of Passage

[Katydid]

In every culture females were taught how to become a woman.

In this day and age young females are victims of broken homes, where the mother is forced to go to work and become the breadwinner.

Or the mother is a single parent.

Those young females lack direction in life and don't know where to go to get it.

Tell us what you admired about the women role models in your family.

What did you admire about mama, grandma, etc.

What have you taught your daughters about the woman's role in this life?

Give us some click ons to refer to...

I think Ally Kat did this only in the perspective of "What kind of woman are you?"

Women have more choices today than in the old days.

Are there some qualities you feel young girls and women today should have learned from the older women in the family?

Is a penniless old hag that spends her time spamming a rock fan site (with subject matter she knows little about) someone that should preach to anyone about womanhood?

Jesus FUCKING Christ Katydid, do you even talk to your children? or are you just an elaborate TROLL that I should give kudos too?

I found something about a retreat where women go and be with other women and discuss women rites of passage.

Perhaps it is easier for a woman to go to one of these and learn how to become a woman...

This needs to go to the dump.

Being 56, I was from the old school. Parents never divorced. They figured it was a woman's lot in life.

They acknowledged the man as the breadwinner for the most part and the head of the household.

You never disagreed with the husband in front of the kids. You stuck with the father when he disiplined the children. Or the father stuck with the mother when she disiplined the children.

If one or the other disagreed, they took it up between themselves; but not in front of the kids.

Young girls were taught to take care of their bodies with exercise of the mind, body and spirit.

That is they dressed modestly, exercised the body and kept it in shape, and went to church and found God.

They were taught right from wrong...they heard about "old grass widders" that is divorced women...don't be one of them.

They were taught, "Always keep your husband satisfied at home so he won't have the need to run with the "dry cows."OR "old ripple bait."

They were taught to cook, have a big garden, and learn to can vegetables to put in the cellar for a hard winter.

They went to grandma and asked for recipes. They learned to use your hands and throw and punch and make "dough god biscuits...really huge biscuits." You squeeze them out by hand.

You learned how to always keep wood in the house for the kitchen stove. You learned to boil clothes in a big pot and punch them with an axe handle. Some required bluing, and starch. Always roll the warm wrung out things you have starched and let almost dry into a ball and put them in a pillow case. Then iron them slick as a ribbon. The mens Sunday overalls and trousers need to be so slick that you have to push a broom stick through them to get them apart. They must stand alone...

And wear an apron to keep the strong lye soap from eating a hole in your clothes.

And never make rabbit tobacco cigarettes out of theme paper and light them, in the outdoor toilet, because your eyelashes will get singed when you light them with that big kitchen match.

Always work like a dog, yet act like a lady.

NickDfresh, I also have a Rite of Passage for men over here somewhere. That is where you belong...

Just for you katydiddle

Your mother was embarassed to talk about puberty, because her mother didnt' talk about it with her.

Luckily the school called all the young girls into a room, (several young boys were spanked for climbing up a tree and looking in the windows). There the old roll up screen was put in place and the projecter of a reel was set up....

There were black and white pictures of the young girl writing in her diary...then the textbook picures explaining a young woman's body.

In big letters the word KOTEX A WOMAN'S BEST FRIEND appears on the screen.

Then a picture of a kotex belt.

It is explained that a girl and a boy's body is different. And that girls have this blood flow each month when they become young ladies...

A douche bag is shown. an apparatus that you fill with hot water (kind of like what daddy put on his head when he had a hang over) and this long hose with a sprinkler attached.

This is used after you are a married woman who has a husband. A disenfectant can be used in it.

Then questions were taken. I raised my hand and asked if that was what mama used that little brown bottle of "lysol" for???She turned white as a sheet and screeched,"Never use lysol for anything but in the laundry or scrubbing floors."

We all left wondering since the kotex belt went around our waists...
We must just have our periods come out our navels...

The Phys Ed teacher stuck his head in and said, "I have scheduled a picture show for the boys over in the Future Farmers of America building. They won't bother anymore. We have to use the animal reproduction films until we can find where to order the others...that way they won't feel left out." She says, "Shh...I think the TROJAN rubber company has films....

Holy shit, this isn't Good Housekeeping. I don't understand women and have no idea how to raise them. All I know is my dick gets hard when a naked woman with nice tits and a firm ass is around. When this happens, my body is telling me something and I just do what comes naturally. As a result of this, I now have three little daughters I'm glad as hell my wife knows what she is doing with them because I sure as hell don't.

Dear Heavenly Father...
Thank you so much for giving me MY mother and not some KATYDID!
Amen

[alexpgrimes]

She should be caring for her son Lou. Not getting her jollies on a rock site..

[Katydid]

Did you ever just sit on the front porch and shell peas or peel apples with Grandma, or some older woman in the family?

Did you ever enjoy looking at the stuff Mama or grandma had in her trunk? ( doilies, pillow cases with lace, old sachet wafting up into your nostrils, some nice night gowns and new underwear for if she ever had to go to the hospial, and nice robe and houseshoes. then near the bottom a box of old black and white pictures. A few locks of hair with a ribbon tied around them....old hankerchiefs with lace around them, that were put up their sleeves...an old parasol or bonnet, some aprons...a locket with a picture of grandpa or her kids as babies...)

Have some tea and maybe rock or sit on the porch swing and listen to grandma talk about her life.

Watch grandma unwind her long hair and comb it and put it back up with those hair pins.

catch lightning bugs in a jar.

Go barefoot, or wear cut off jeans...

Go to the mailbox and wait for the mailman...

Go to the neighbors and listen to the Grand Ole Opry on the radio.

Play the wind up victrola...listen to Burl Ives, Jimmy Rodgers? Listen to daddy sing, "All around the water tank...waiting for a train...a thousand miles away from home sleeping in the rain."

Mama playing guitar like Maybelle Carter.

Relatives coming...big dinner on Sunday. Playing softball in the cow pasture? Eating watermelon that had cooled in a tub of well water...making homemade ice cream?

Watch Grandma roll her socks down to under her knees where the rubber band didn't cut into her leg so bad.

Wash petticoats. bras, and undies and hang them on the line. Watch them flap in the wind as you daydream of the day when you'd get a wringer washer...

Have you ever caught crawdads in the branch behind the house? And wonder what muscles were? Catch pearch with a cane pole then throw them back. Catch tadpoles?

Ever went in the boat to gig frogs and it be dark, and have only a carbide light on your head. Go up into a slue and watch water moccican snakes swimming next to the bank, mad because you are getting the frogs, maybe try to get in the boat ....

Ever tease the bull and get him to chase you? then run and get up a tree and let him butt the tree, or get too close to a cow with a newborn calf and she chases the dog who runs to you and you have to fall and roll under the barbwire fence?

[Katydid]

Ever have to feed the horses, and them be so big you felt like they were going to tromp you? When you run, they run after you? Chop the ice in the pond so they can drink.

Ever have a horse get into the sweet feed and eat all of it? Making her foundered...Having to stand her in the pond and rub water on her till her fever broke...Help trim hooves and horseshoe horses?

I never had to milk, but watched my cousin who had dairy cattle. She would put those big old cows heads in a thing and hook the milkers to them...

Ever have a tree house?

Ever goe up the river on the sand to the turnpike where there is no civilization for miles. Water about knee deep...ride the horses, take all the neighbor hood kids and dogs? Talk about everything under the sun. I as going alone every evening in summer, then soon all choas broke loose with kids and dogs...things I'll treasure the rest of my life. Most of the time tho just going barefoot and carrying our shoes around our necks...My husband worked a lot and was gone...

[DLR7884]

Nickdfresh, I love kids. I was a stay at home mom when they were small. Then somehow my house was always the one kids wound up at. Playing basket ball on the concrete drive and trying to hit the basked there on the pole...out in the back yard grilling...going for walks around...seeing things...(this was after we moved to town)...I even rode a bicycle with them up and down safe places...

Going to mass then waterskiing all day. Cooking out...having the motor home handy...

From the time my kids were toddlers they could water ski, swim... got into sports. I was there cheering them on...Still am. I talk to my kids every couple days...
