The Fisherman SweaterWritten by Mark Shenton
The Fisherman Sweater Fisherman sweaters used to be something that were seen as items of warm and rugged work wear, but much as changed, and fisherman sweaters have followed jeans to make that transformation from work wear to a 20th century fashionable clothing item.Fisherman Sweater History Rooted in our common heritage, commercial fishermen, weekend sailors, farmers and in fact people from all walks of life love fisherman sweater. At sea, and in town, it is a symbol of simpler times when you could look good in something that was designed just to be practical and keep you warm, not to show off a label in order to be some kind of status symbol like many garments manufactured today. The fisherman sweater has its origins in Brittany. Surprisingly it was not fishermen that started to wear them, but merchants who during 18th century travelled to England to sell onions, these merchants wore an item of knitted wool clothing that made them recognizable from a distance, garments were made with very tight stitching, using a stitch designed for warmth, water proofing, and considerable resistance to wind.

Have you ever been told by someone that you love or by someone of higher authority that words don’t hurt? Have you been told that as long as you are not being hit, that it is ok to be abused? Well think again because "ABUSE" is abuse whether it is done physical, emotional or both and it affects women’s health just same because both can leave lifetime scares that will and can hurt you in both your personal and professional life. The old myth has always been, if you are being physically abused to get out while those who were being emotionally abused were seemed to be told nothing! Is it a fact that words don’t hurt?If that holds true, then does it only become physical abuse when a bruised body part becomes obvious to others? Well, what about an emotional abused person? Does it only become emotional abuse when you have started to believe what you’re told? Really there is no difference in how emotional and physical abuse affects mind, body and spirit. Take these thoughts into consideration for a minute or two. A woman who is said to be going through physical abuse also goes through emotional abuse with every kick or hit that’s encountered. Ask them what were they feeling?
