Pimpfants: A Clothing Line for the Innocent Made by the Depraved




Yes, you read that correctly, Pimpfants. This is a new clothing line for infants and toddlers made by three 30-something white guys in Oregon. According to an interview posted on pastdeadline.com, two of the three are fathers with young kids.


What do some of the clothes say? “Jr. Pimp Squad” is emblazoned on a basketball outfit. The line of tank tops is called “Baby Beaters.” One of their competitors, not to be outdone, has a shirt proclaiming “Playground Pimp.” Classy.

So the dads of these poor kids are making them wear misogynistic clothing before they are even able to walk or run away from them. Where are their moms? Where are their grandmothers? Who is standing up to protect these kids from this garbage?

In the pastdeadline.com interview, one of the Pimpfants guys was asked if he hopes his kids will grow up to be pimps and/or prostitutes. He answered: “Oh, no, no. We just thought it would be cute for kids to wear something kind of street.”

Cute? I take it he has never talked to a prostituted woman who has been beaten to within an inch of her life by a pimp. Maybe he’s never read about infants being bought and sold to pedophiles to be raped, tortured and sometimes killed.

There is nothing glamorous or cute about the life of a prostituted woman or child who is held captive by a pimp who sells her to 20 to 30 men a day, keeps her addicted to drugs, beats her when she doesn’t bring in enough money for him, and degrades her verbally and emotionally.

What’s Pimpfants’ contribution to society? Providing an avenue for the next generation to grow up thinking it is acceptable to objectify women and glorify the dehumanization of prostituted women and children around the world.

Hey, maybe they can outfit the children of next year’s Oscar nominees!

    "Something kind of street"???

    I am really flabbergasted, Jean. It's so sick and wrong that I don't know what else to say.

    I'm not laughing. It seems to me like someone has to have a pretty sick sense of humor to laugh about innocent babies wearing clothing that even (remotely) suggests or connotes the physical abuse of women by others is wrong. It is immoral and sick. It's not the least bit funny. This is in your face obnoxious and disgusting.

The Spirituality and Miracles of St. Clare of Assisi

Image
August 11 is the memorial of St. Clare, one of my favorite saints. She was the first woman to follow the life of radical poverty practiced by St. Francis of Assisi and is the co-founder of the Poor Clares. Although I am not a Franciscan, I have had Franciscan friends, clergy, and spiritual directors instruct me on the beauty of St. Clare's spirituality. I have also learned a great deal from reading about her over the years. Clare and Francis (2007) is a film which depicts the fascinating story of her dramatic conversion and surrender to the will of God. St. Clare is the patron saint of television. She is also the patron of eye disorders, embroiderers, good weather, and telephones. The Contemplative Life The Lady Clare was born into a noble family in Assisi in 1193 and was admired for her great beauty. When she heard Francis of Assisi preach his Lenten homilies at the Church of San Giorgio, she was captivated by his words. At age eighteen, she heard him say: "When the

Saint Michael de Sanctis: Patron of Cancer Patients

Today is the feast of Saint Michael de Sanctis, also known as St. Michael of the Saints, a Spanish Discalced Trinitarian priest, the patron of cancer patients. Michael Argemir was born on September 29, 1591 at Vic, Catalonia, Spain. At age 6, he told his parents that he planned to become a monk and began modeling his life after Saint Francis of Assisi. Michael’s parents died when he was about ten years old. He then served as an apprentice with a local merchant. During this apprenticeship, he continued his fervent devotion to the Lord, especially to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. At the age of 12, he joined the Trinitarian Friars at Barcelona, taking his vows at St. Lambert’s monastery in Saragosa four years later.  Shortly afterwards, Michael expressed a desire to join the reformed group of Trinitarians and was given permission to do so. He went to the Novitiate at Madrid and, after studies at Seville and Salamanca, he was ordained a priest. Twice he served as Superior of the hou

Saint Gerard of Brogne: Patron of Abbots

Image
St. Gerard was born to a noble family in Staves, Belgium, in 895. He descended from a royal line of military men and at first felt a share in this call to arms. He trained for the army and, as a page of the count of Namur, he was sent on a special mission to the French court. There, Gerard realized that he was being called to the monastic life. He stayed in France and joined the Benedictines of St. Denis, abandoning his noble birthright and all his worldly possessions. He spent eleven years in France as a monk before becoming a priest. Following his ordination, he left for Belgium in order to found a new abbey on his own estate of Brogne. He was its abbot for twenty-two years and during that period was instrumental in introducing St. Benedict's Rule into numerous houses in Flanders, Lorraine and Champagne.He became known for his engaging sweetness of temper, his strict observance of the Rule of St. Benedict and for the replacement of lukewarm religious practice with true piety.
