    The Alleged “Distractees” – Not Our Daughters and Sisters – Must Change

    Each year, Fargo Public Schools (FPS) officials tell our daughters – sometimes explicitly, often implicitly – they will be a “distraction” to other students and teachers if they wear spaghetti-strap tops that are “too revealing,” pants that are “too tight” or skirts that are “too short.”

    Discrimination

    The 1950s Called. They want their discriminatory dress code back.

    Tight pants? How about no victim blaming, instead?

    Graphic - Ordained Dudeist Priest

    From getting married to getting buried, I gotchya covered, man!

    I am an introvert, which means more, and less, than you think.
    Here's a great definition from Introvert, Dear.

    IV Words Founder Martin C. Fredricks IV

    Martin C. “Red” Fredricks IV here. I’m husband to an amazing woman who is also my best friend, dad to three outstanding kids, climate crisis warrior, environmentalist, rabble-rouser, sayer of things people don't want to hear, proud introvert and big-time reader. A ginger, too - ergo the "Red" - although some of it's going white. Cinnamon-sugar, I call it. Tattooed to boot; seven so far; like 'em or not, I don't much care.
