Another thing that bugs me is that regardless of what a person or family believes, at it's root, this holiday is a celebration of the birth of Jesus. On a less religious note, it's a celebration of kindness, charity, goodwill, and brotherly love. If you want your children to believe or understand that, how can you expect them, upon finding out that you fabricated Santa, to continue believing in all the other stuff? Jesus, good will to all, generosity, charity, how are they supposed to have faith in all that when you have deliberately tricked them with Santa, elf on a shelf, reindeer, and all that? Well written and excellent point! Thank you.

I have nothing against 'strutting your stuff' but as you stated, women should "choose wisely". There is a time and place for everything. I failed to mention that while I related this to another sport, I am also a member of a women's shooting league, which is what originally got me interested in your blog.

I think that this is an important subject and one that younger women need to read and not only in regards to the shooting world. In the 1980's I was an avid scuba diver, holding certifications for Advanced Diver, Rescue Diver, Master Underwater Photography and more. At 5'6" & 125 lbs., I was very comfortable in a bikini. This was primarily a male demoniated sport back then so when I was diving, I always wore a one piece bathing suit, usually topping it with a tee shirt. That was my choice because I wanted to fit in and be taken seriously, to not just be a piece of eye candy on the dive boat. Common sense dictates that if you show up in a teeny bathing suit, that's what will get the attention...not your skills. Diving magazines back then regularly ran ads showing women using their products while wearing skimpy bikinis and 5" high heels...on the beach. I wrote letters, boycotted their products and did what I could to promote women's skills over their bodies. There is nothing wrong with looking sexy but I think it's sad that many women feel that it's the only or primary way that they can validate themselves and/or get attention. There is a time and place for everything and just as I don't believe that 5" high heels are appropriate for the beach, I don't believe that yoga pants are appropriate attire for the shooting range. While we live in a highly sexualized society, I believe women can be recognized for their talents and not just for their T&A; but only if they make a stand and don't encourage behavior and a mode of dress that reduces them to an object worthy only of ogling. Wake up young ladies...you have so much more than your bodies to strut about. <br />Writer Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05828183121811122195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6590301711135340046.post-38672051160992982802016-08-28T07:25:26.865-04:002016-08-28T07:25:26.865-04:00Hey Aunt Kathy!

The dominate viewpoint of a lot of young adults now (coming from a young adult myself) is that women can wear whatever they want without wanting to be looked at in a sexual way. Which is definitely true; HOWEVER, we live in a reality where you will be judged by men for what you choose to wear, not just on the range but in bars, classrooms, etc., like it or not. So until we get to that ideal world, yes, it does matter what you wear in certain situations and how you choose to portray yourself. As an avid yoga pants-wearer myself, I feel like the advertisers would've been way less douchey/sexist and more successful had they approached this article as, "Hey women shooters, we think you're pretty awesome! How about these tactical stretch pants that are comfortable and allow for a full range of movement so you don't have to worry about your pants, you can focus on your shooting instead!" Instead of both directing the article towards men and having it be so overtly sexual. My two cents! :)Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151669624337726254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6590301711135340046.post-41115604059644957552016-08-25T07:46:43.419-04:002016-08-25T07:46:43.419-04:00Thanks for reading and being interested :-)Thanks for reading and being interested :-)Dr. LateBloomerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12586762368389496511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6590301711135340046.post-70206888148660471422016-08-23T22:21:54.120-04:002016-08-23T22:21:54.120-04:00That makes perfect sense now!

I HAVE to clear the gun and wipe it down with CLP before putting it away, or it would soon become a corroded mess. The bellyband and holster get draped over a chair to air out and dry, because it's wet with sweat. I've rinsed it out in the sink with baby shampoo a couple times too ( the bellyband, not the gun Ha!). If this were EDC rig I probably wouldn't do that every time.
