One more sign the religious right is run by sick people.

I... am stunned.

Purity Balls. The chastity belt redux. I can say no more. Except

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWW.

In a perfect universe, young teenage males would be forced to lovingly escort their mothers to a 'purity ball' all dressed-up and promising to abstain from sex until their wedding nights. Except, of course, that it would be demeaning. Coddling them. Boys will be boys and all that. Wild oats. No healthy male should be a mama's boy.

Proof that for all the prating about dignity and princesshood, all these patriarchical asshats are doing is reinforcing their precious daughters' role as members of the sex class.

What is this? The Middle Ages?

I wish the religious right would mind their own business.

ok I have to admit ewwwwww...as well. but not all religous people are like that...at least I don't think I am

gah, i'm a butthead. (heh eheheheh)

no, annie love, i know you're not. for me, "religious right" is shorthand for the frothing extremists who would love for the usa to become a theocracy. i'm really sorry if i hurt your feelings. :(

btw... i totally understand that parents want to protect their children. i just think this purity ball idea is way too twisted. it says so clearly that women are property. ugh.

A prepubescent child discussing virginity with anyone - with her father??? Fortunately, the poor little thing probably has no idea what it all means. I bloody hope she doesn't, anyway.

Man, I hope so.

Welcome to my loony bin, er, attic. Did anything in particular prompt your visit? :)
