Body Piercing Is “a Mark of Slavery,” and a Girl in a Dog Collar Is Saying What She Thinks of Herself

A girl who wears a dog collar is saying what she thinks of herself.

In Douglas Wilson’s own words: 1 quote from 1999, from Federal Husband, cited to the source.

Body piercing is a mark of slavery. The Ishmaelites were not part of Israel and were fit for slavery. […] However, the point of body-piercing is not to be attractive but rather the reverse. The intent is to be repulsive. A girl who wears a dog collar is saying what she thinks of herself.

— Douglas Wilson, Federal Husband, Canon Press, 1999, Section Two: “Masculine Signs”
