What bothers me is their victim-blaming ideas. "Women should wear long skirts and loose blouses and high necklines to avoid tempting men... of COURSE rape happens, because women dress too suggestively!" This is what they've been teaching to four girls who were sexually molested! I remember hearing a quote where Michelle Duggar said that some of the older girls had developed even stricter standards of modesty than their parents. Annnd this is why: because their family's standards weren't enough to protect them.
And am I the only one who thinks that this wouldn't have happened if Josh had gone to public school (aka. was away from his sisters) and allowed to have a girlfriend? I mean, the parents teach that making out with a girlfriend and molesting his sisters are equal sins, and they kept him isolated from girls his age*, so what do they expect?
*I can't prove the isolation part, but it's a tactic that Quiverfull parents almost always use. They keep their children away from any children that aren't a part of the movement - for their childrens' protection and further brainwashing. It's an easy way for the parents to keep their teens from dating, too.
