custom bumper sticker causing drama
-
I saw it as someone who was proud of a hobby and maybe tired of tip toeing around polite society.
I don’t put stickers on my car in case I need to run from the scene of a crime, and I fear the sticker may identify me.
To each their own. It’s not the first sticker I’ve seen and though I don’t personally have them I don’t get upset.
I’m not in her head but maybe she wants a little bit of attention or a reaction… So, who is she hurting.
Why should people be shamed for standing out or deviating from the norm.
Facebook said, as social media always does: Let’s shame her back into a box everyone. Maybe our shame will make her take it off and stop making people uncomfortable.
Fact is, most of society thinks pole dancers are attention seeking whores.
(But there’s so many other fitness routes they could take but they choose THAT ONE, GASP!!!)
She could have went neutral with it and put “I love pole sport”. Nothing wrong with that. Some people still would have said. “It can never make it into the Olympics it’s only cardio, they call that a sport, hah!” Or maybe “oh a pole vaulter, cool.”
What if it is snarky. Why should pole dancers silence themselves and be considerate toward the feelings of people that shame us in the first place.

The original post and topic of this thread was that the sticker was causing drama. My comments in particular were in regard to how some people might interpret or misinterpret the sticker.
No one is shaming her (at least I’m not) and frankly, I’m tired of the whole “shaming-this, shaming-that” trend that is happening all over the media. Everything is too PC nowadays and context is usually overlooked. It’s like people are looking for reasons to be offended. It’s OK to be upset, if something truly upsets you, but seriously, unless someone is truly out to hurt people, move on.
Besides, some things are meant to cause controversy and that’s ok.

Juna I used to live in Henderson CO over by the South Platte. My parents and sister still live there though. Now I live in San Diego. I joined the Navy and now I’m Navy spouse.

I also used to be a military wife. I really wasn’t aware of the horrible judgements about us. I felt kind of sick seeing words like dependas in some of those comments on the Facebook post. I’ve always worked hard for what I have. I made more money than my husband so I guess that kind of blows that stereotype out of the water. People can be real nasty.
