NJ School Declares “No Cursing” Rule, But Only If You Have Lady Parts

Warning: This post will contain foul language, because I’m feeling particularly rebellious and “un-ladylike” today.

A Catholic high school in Arlington, New Jersey, has asked its female students to take a “no cursing” pledge, though no such pledge was ever asked of its male students.

The teacher who began this stupid fucking campaign at Queen of Peace High School, Lori Flynn, says that even though males were not asked to take the vow as the female students were, they have been asked not to swear in front of the females, because god forbid a feeble female should ever hear a fucking curse word.

The goal, Flynn says, is to have “ladies to act like ladies” and not like the shitty, foul-mouthed teenagers that they are. The school’s principal, Brother Larry Lavallee, said that the females are the ones with the foulest language, which is why they have to take the goddamn pledge. Apparently, Brother Lavallee has never been inside a boy’s locker room, which I find highly doubtful.

The girls at the school have taken the pledge with no incident, though some are wondering why the boys aren’t getting the same shit-laden bum deal as they are. 16 year old Dana Cotter, who sounds like a fucking smart cookie, said that they should also join the pledge too, because if they have to be “ladies,” then “boys should be more like gentlemen.”

Teachers said that they hoped the improvement in the ladies’ behavior would rub off on the boys, because that’s exactly how censoring a woman’s speech fucking works. As incentive for the girls, they’ve promised them lollipops and pins that have a picture of pink lips with a red slash through them, which pretty much translates to “shut your fucking mouth, you’re a girl and girls only speak when spoken to.”

16 year old ass-hat Nicholas Recarte, the school’s pitcher on the baseball team, had this to say about the pledge, “It’s unattractive when girls have potty mouths,” but then made no promises that he wouldn’t be able to keep his mouth clean during baseball games because, hey, it’s only natural for a dude when he’s going through mound-mishaps to shout some obscenities. He can’t help it.

Queen of Peace High School and its authorities can take this misogynistic pledge and shove it up their collective fuckholes, then duct tape those holes shut so that no one ever has to be subjected to this assbile ever again.

    *sigh* Once again, a stupid-ass Catholic decides to do something very un-Catholic and tarnish the already battered reputation of the non-asshole Catholics.

    • Margaret

      I’d love it if a bunch of those nuns that were accused by the Vatican of being “radical feminists” showed up at this school and gave the principle an earful.

      • PhiloteSplitter

        That would be interesting.

        You know, I personally think that a lot of the efforts to suppress sexism and racism are only prolonging the problem. Example: The way test scores are sorted by race in high-schools. What the hell were they thinking?

    • Logan

      At this point you have to wonder if *they* are the Catholics and the people who don’t act like this are actually something else. Perhaps a new name is in order?

      Anyone hear about this today? http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-202_162-57567706/ireland-admits-involvement-in-catholic-laundry-slavery/

      • PhiloteSplitter

        But then what would you say the difference between Catholics and the *new* religion is? That the *new* one actually follows their beliefs? Wouldn’t that be a kick in a balls. Actually that would be hilarious, someone needs to do this.

        • Logan

          In the end, I have yet to se a GOOD story come out of the Catholic church. The pope is terrified of dying (rides around in a bullet proof car), and lives in a palace of gold. Disgusting.

          • PhiloteSplitter

            Well, the problem is that when somebody does something positive it rarely makes the news, and if it does their religious stance is not often mentioned. Not to mention Christians are supposed to do good, nobody is surprised if they do.

            As for the Pope, he’s afraid of assassination for good reason, people want to kill him. And he doesn’t live in a palace of gold, he lives in the cathedral known as the Archbasilica of St. John Lateran, which uses some gold leaf to decorate the inside. Gold leaf isn’t worth much by itself.

            Of course you’re entitled to your opinion, think what you wish.

            • Logan

              The Pope shouldn’t be afraid to die.

              And the idea that “christians are supposed to be good” is such a joke, it can no longer be assumed as true. Rampant abuse, child exploitation, wars, genocide (before the Holocaust, Jews were killed en masse by Christians), misogyny, homophobia…the list goes on and on. There just isn’t enough good to outweigh any of that, much less to make anyone think those horrible acts are not the “norm”.

              I’ve been to the fortress that is the Vatican. It is a disgrace and not anything close to what Jesus preached. If the gold isn’t worth that much, then how about they take it down? It grossed me out to walk through such appearance of wealth. If Catholic ministers are to take an oath of poverty, why does the Pope have a butler? The entire religion is a joke. A horrible, horrible joke.

              • PhiloteSplitter

                Alright, I won’t argue over the internet. I find it never properly ends at all, much less ends well. Have a good day, I hope I didn’t ruin it.

                • Logan

                  Ha – unlikely. :)

      Replace “Catholic” with just the general term “Christian” and I know your feel.

  • Ruminum

    Oh, FUCK that shit…

    • thister

      Exactly. It seems even more counterintuitive since it allows young men to lourd their behavior over these young women. I bet you are likely to find more young men behaving like arrogant dicks just to test these young women and get them in trouble if they say a damn thing. Totally fucked up.

      • Margaret

        I also don’t understand how the girls can be punished more than boys. A pledge isn’t really a binding contract, is it? It’s like an abstinence pledge, breaking it doesn’t mean you’re going to jail or anything.

        I went to Catholic school and were generally just reprimanded for our language, sometimes given detention. I didn’t need to take a pledge to not swear at school. I just needed my biology teacher to give me detention or yell at me.

        • Ruminum

          Yeah, but I think there’s a difference between someone breaking a rule that they may or may not agree with in the first place, and someone breaking a rule they were made to or actually wanted to pledge not to do. Breaking it doesn’t just mean you violated someone else’s rule; it also means you went against something you “believed” in or promised not to do.

          Psychologically, it’s a little fucked up. The way the policy is planned out, if the boys swear, they haven’t broken any personal commitment, and it just means the girls’ ability to rub off on them was a failure. But if the girl swears, she’s broken a promise she made to herself to be “more ladylike”.

          Flynn needs an elementary lesson in gender equity.

          • thister

            I’m with you on this. It internalizes a negative reinforcement along social expectations for these young women and, inadvertently, lets young men do whatever they want without the worry of a violation.

            So, of course the young men aren’t up in protest or saying, “Oh heck! That’s not fair, we want in on it too!” Instead they recognize the dilemma and are either choosing to abstain, because they do not want to be implicated, or deliberately choosing the side that grants them the most freedom to express themselves without much worry about a violation of a pledge and/or a “school policy.” In this way, then, it does psychologically impart that young women have more of an obligation to uphold a social ethic than young men, and it gives the young men more power to socially discipline the young women by pressuring them to break the pledge or treating them as outcasts because they are “prude” or “pious.”

              Lemme tl;dr up your comment a bit: patriarchy and misogyny. The Church cannot survive without both being preserved.

              • thister

                Touche.

    • ilovellamas

      Ooh I have some great ideas for what they can do next to better our society!!!

      We hope that by forcing all women to wear burkas and cover their whole bodies head to toe, it will cause men to be less sex-driven and rape less.

      We hope that by forcing women to work 45+ hours per week, it’ll rub off on men and cause them to work harder.

    Good. Women should be a lady in the street, and a freak in the bed. So says the Luda.

    I agree that this is stupid, but I don’t really understand the hate against men and male students for this. It was a woman who started this campaign. Blame her and her idea of how women should act.

    • Ruminum

      Well, the men certainly seem to be cool with it, if 16 year old ass-hat Nicholas Recarte and school principal Brother Larry Lavallee, who’s allowing dumbass dookie-head Lori Flynn’s sexist idea to move forward. Barbra Streisand.

      • slipperywhenvagina

        Yes, it’s the fault of men even when women are oppressing other women for arcane gender roles. What about the other sexist side to this story? NJ School Declares Free Lollipops And Pins, But Only If You Have Lady Parts And Don’t Curse

        • Ruminum

          I didn’t say it was their fault and NOT the fault of the women oppressing other women. I pointed out that the men in the article were just as complicit in Flynn’s sexist idea, which is why they’re getting flack for it. Likewise, Flynn is a teacher with an idea, but it still needs to pass through the leadership of the school, which, according to the article, includes Lavallee, who’s in full support.

          Were this a campaign started by a woman and supported, passed, and implemented only by women, then I’d be mystified about why the completely uninvolved men were getting flack.

          But it wasn’t. They all suck. Flynn’s a dumbass and Lavellee and Recarte suck for not calling it out for what it is. Penis wrinkle!

            Penis wrinkle FTW!

              A naughty term from youth, learned one day as a friend’s older sister yelled it at a crotchety old man who almost hit us in the neighborhood street.

      I think you’re getting anonymous downvoter stalked.

      • http://dailyoftheday.com/ Madame McThunder

        I know I’m getting anonymous downvoter stalked. I like to think it’s someone whose burning desire for me is so strong that instead of paying attention to their loins, as they normally would, they’re projecting their rage onto me. It’s awfully exciting.

        • TruuuV

          It isn’t, I just disagree with every single post you make.

          … I mean yeah totally.

          What no of course it’s not me.

    What the fucking fuck is this fuckery of fucks?

    I read the above article and tried not giving a fuck, but all my fucks were like “fuck this shit”, so I decided to post this shitty fuck so I could give my fucks before not giving a fuck anymore.

    Now I’m all out of fucks to give.

    No, but, on a serious note, there are words that aren’t even derogatory that can be used in a derogatory manner. The opposite is also true. Bitch wasn’t always considered a curse word as it also refers to a female dog. The same with faggot, since it also refers to cigarettes, small sausages, a bundle of sticks and other such definitions that aren’t even close to being homosexually related (unless you make a joke about delicious sausages).

    Throughout highschool my teachers had no fucks to give about swearing, especially my science/culture teacher (same teacher). As he would put it, any word we can find in the dictionary and use in a creative manner during class, he’d give us a candy reward. So we’d find words, including curse words, and slip them into conversations and/or homework. Such as an essay on “Do flies shit?”, or “The origin of fucking for money”. The first was a science essay on feces of humans and animals and how some cultures perceive it, and the other was a culture essay on the origin of prostitution and how differently it was/is viewed by various cultures. Both essays are used by the teacher as a reference for new students.

    So, I really don’t see how swearing has any bearing on whether or not someone is intelligent, intellectual, etc. I swear like a sailor but am still able to act in a civil manner or hold my own in a debate on various topics. If I were attending that school, I’d have already flipped my shit about freedom of speech and expression.

    Post like this are why I check this site faithfully (the rest of the content is great, mind you, but I enjoy sites where the people running it speak their minds).

    Also, dudes don’t like chicks that cuss? Fuck that! I love bitches that use every fucking word they know and don’t hold shit back! A few of my favorite work friends are girls that I can walk up to and have the following conversation:

    Me: ‘Sup cunt-waffle.
    Her: Not shit you fucking fag-muffin.

    /Ah, it’s nice to have a good cursing conversation here. For the most part DotD is pretty clean (at least by Internet standards), but it’s good to let go once in a while =P
