To all those who think there is no hope for our youth, that they are not engaged and informed about issues of sexism or misogyny, I present to you the events that occurred at?Richardson High School outside of Dallas, Texas when they invited?Justin Lookadoo, who is?a speaker and author?to give a speech to the students.
See, Mr. Lookadoo specializes in giving speeches to students on dating-especially girls. His series is called RU Dateable. The students at Richardson High weren’t impressed with his advice.
? ? ? ? ? ? ?For Girls?
-
Accept your girly-ness.?You’re a girl. Be proud of all that means. You are soft, you are gentle, you are a woman. Don’t try to be a guy. Guys like you because you are different from them. So let your girly-ness soar.
-
Girls don’t fight girls, ever.?Revenge belongs to God. Dateable girls know that when they fight other girls they look stupid and catty, and guys don’t like it any more than God does
-
Be mysterious.?Dateable girls know how to shut up. They don’t monopolize the conversation. They don’t tell everyone everything about themselves. They save some for later. They listen more than they gab.
-
Act confident.?Dateable girls know that confidence is hot. And the cool part is that no one knows if you are confident but you. Confidence isn’t how you feel, it’s how you act. Act confident and people will think you are.
-
Let him lead.?God made guys as leaders. Dateable girls get that and let him do guy things, get a door, open a ketchup bottle. They relax and let guys be guys. Which means they don’t ask him out!!!
-
Need him.?Dateable girls know that guys need to be needed. A Dateable girl isn’t Miss Independent. She knows we are made for community. Needing each other is part of faith. She allows him to be needed at times, knowing he was called to serve just as much as she was. (466)
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? For Boys?
-
Being a guy is good.?Dateable guys know they aren’t as sensitive as girls and that’s okay. They know they are stronger, more dangerous, and more adventurous and that’s okay. Dateable guys are real men who aren’t afraid to be guys.
-
Control your mind.?Dateable guys know that God demands self control. They learn ways to control their minds so they can control their bodies.
-
Don’t just want a win, want an adventure.?Dateable guys know life is about danger. You might not win, but that’s not the point, doing it is. Dateable guys risk failure to live the adventure of life.
-
Men of God are wild, not domesticated.?Dateable guys aren’t tamed. They don’t live by the rules of the opposite sex. They fight battles, conquer lands, and stand up for the oppressed.
-
Bring God into it.?Dateable guys bring God into it. ?What would He say if he was talking to me through this situation?? they ask.
-
Be a gentleman.?Chivalry is not dead with the Dateable guy. Even if society thinks this is old fashioned he knows that it is God-fashioned. He keeps his gentleman side strong and considers all women important enough to care for.
-
Keep it covered up.?Dateable guys know that porn is bad for the spirit and the mind. They keep women covered up.
Now I know it’s hard to imagine why anyone would take issue with him getting up and spewing these views at a public high school but the students clearly did and they took to Twitter to say so with the hashtag #lookadouche. Some students tweeted that they were walking out and then did. They openly called Mr. Lookadoo out for being the sexist misogynist he is.
It should be asked why the school felt this speaker was needed at their school? His website checklist?– it exists so that entities can?figure out if they should bring him in to speak — states that you know you need him if you have problems such as girls wearing short skirts or asking boys out for dates. He is not a speaker suitable for a secular setting or one not set in 1950.
