RE: Banter: It's A Badgerling

I don't know why you people take this off the list and continue this conversation
privately.  If you are offended by this gentleman's statements delete the post and
do not read anything else from him.  It's like TV or a book or radio, you always
have the option to not be exposed to whatever you do not wish to be exposed to.
Granted, I do not have a daughter, and therefore not really concerned with
protecting her, but I did come into the SCA at the young nubile age of 15 and I 
can asure you that all of the SCAdian males that I came in contact were complete
gentlmen in action if not always in word.  I would think that SCA would be the 
perfect place for your daughters to learn male-female interaction.  Most SCA
males will respect "No means No", how many drunken high school jocks will?

>As well you have posted here to the list accusing me of bragging about the nubile young daughters of the Barony. I never suggested that we should troll the waters with them or allow them to do anything even slightly unsavory.  I only was mentioning the fact of life that at  around the age of 12 they begin to attract the interest of boys and girls their age who are outside the SCA. This interest might encourage those young men and women to investigate the SCA and perhaps be willing to participate in something that holds the interest of the young lady or gentleman whom they wish to get to know.  I also mentioned that this as well was period.....if I remember correctly from my reading, marriages or liasons between persons of that age were frowned upon in period as well as they are today although flirting then as now were perfectly allowed.

>If I am to be accused of impropriety in making the observation that the attraction starts long before the age of 18 (tho as the father of a young girl I am sure that this is an unwelcome thought)...you are guilty of worse impropriety in making assumptions not supported and in discourtesy.   If I were a man I would demand retraction on the field but as a lady I can only hope to shame you into a retraction of your offensive remarks and a complete apology.
