So I was surfing YouTube and I came across some interesting videos talking about feminists and rape hoaxes and the like. This one girl was having a hissy fit because there was an article by a mom who gave her son like 300 condoms to take with him to college and warned him about the party girls, and reminded him to stay focused on academics. She was concerned that a girl would consent to sex--then change her mind or in some way get him into trouble. Users commenting on one such video wondered if she was the type of girl this mother was warning her son and his friends about! Who knows.
I know most people would say good going to the mother, teaching her son responsibility and all that, and how to avoid trouble. But I still see a problem, and it really has nothing to do with feminism.
Whatever happened to teaching our kids abstinence? Think about it. If kids are taught from the time they're old enough to understand about abstinence, and taught that their parents expect it, they'll get in a lot less trouble! I was more or less taught abstinence (I was a teenager in the 80s). I waited until I was married and so did my husband. That's the way it should be.
What if this young man was taught to abstain until he was married, and he followed this advice? Same with his friends? Then there'd be no chance whatsoever of STDs or pregnancy (no birth control device is 100% effective), and the beauty of it is, if you don't have sex, there's virtually NO chance of a girl falsely accusing you of rape!
I have heard it said that sex takes the least amount of time and causes the most amount of trouble. Save yourselves the trouble--and save yourselves! Believe it or not, girls don't mind having virgin husbands. In fact, that's what I wanted and what I got. Why give yourself baggage?
