So I was doing some LOtR research because of course and a lot of people put Legolas’ last name down as Greenleaf. I got curious, and so i looked it up, and the word “Legolas” literally means Greenleaf.

Legolas is “Greenleaf Greenleaf.”

Legolas is Moon Moon

In America, this would have earned her a horrible reputation, probably cost her her career with the police force, and would have been a controversy that would have somehow “shocked” the media and therefore the public. Instead, she was declared a hero, and now holds a high position in her field. Well done, China!

From Police Officer Breastfed Quake Babies on I Am Not the Babysitter:

Twenty-nine year old police officer, Jiang Xiaojuan, left her six month old baby with her mother to take part in disaster relief efforts, after the 2008 earthquake.

Xiaojaun breastfed nine babies during her relief work and was nicknamed “The police mom”.

Since then she was appointed to the Communist Party of China Committee of the Jiangyou Public Security Bureau and is now the bureau’s vice commissar. This was after she was awarded the titles of “hero and model police officer” and “excellent member of the communist party” – all for her breastfeeding efforts in the field.

What did Jiang Xiaojuan have to say about it? Well, according to the CNN article,

“I think what I did was normal,” she said. “In a quake zone, many people do things for others. This was a small thing, not worth mentioning.”

Also:

“I feel about these kids I fed just like my own. I have a special feeling for them. They are babies in a disaster.”

THE FEEEEEEEEEEEEELZZZZZZZZ

She fed up to nine babies, and she’s still feeding two children whose mothers lost their milk during the events of the quake because of the stress. What an incredible lady.

This lady is a hero.

This is so badass.

That is very cool. Too bad she’s “an excellent member of the communist party” though, lol

She was an exquisite painter. She made her living restoring Renaissance paintings for art museums. She travelled extensively because of her work. She was…highly intelligent, optimistic about the human condition. Usually consider it a sign of stupidity but with Irene it seemed…almost convincing. She was, to me, The Woman. To me, she preclipsed and predominated the whole of her gender. The only one I ever—

"While we are on the subject of dress and its relevance to the problem of modesty and immodesty it is..."

Wed, 01 May 2013 22:10:17 -0400

“While we are on the subject of dress and its relevance to the problem of modesty and immodesty it is worth drawing attention to the functional significance of differences in attire. There are certain objective situations in which even total nudity of the body is not immodest, since the proper function of nakedness in this context is not to provoke a reaction to the person as an object for enjoyment, and in just the same way the functions of particular forms of attire may vary. Thus, the body may be partially bared for physical labour, for bathing, or for a medical examination. If then we wish to pass a moral judgement on particular forms of dress we have to start from the particular functions which they serve. When a person uses such a form of dress in accordance with its objective function we cannot claim to see anything immodest in it, even if it involves partial nudity. Whereas the use of such a costume outside its proper context is immodest, and is inevitably felt to be so. For example, there is nothing immodest about the use of a bathing costume at a bathing place, but to wear it in the street or while out for a walk is contrary to the dictates of modesty.”

- Karol Wojtyla in Love and Responsibility. It should be noted that Karol Wojtyla (later Pope John Paul II) is the only theologian in Church history to do an in-depth theological study of the human body. His statements on modesty, therefore, trump any that have come before him, because he had a greater understanding of the human body and modesty than anyone who came before him.
