She should have kept her legs closed, she is the town bicycle, etc. I hear/read this crap all the time. I have a daughter and I know exactly how I am going to raise her, but when I read and hear that rhetoric it's pure behavior control. Your second comment about "self control" is behavior control. The 60s and 70s already happened, cat is out of the bag. Pre-marital sex is no longer shamed in our world and it hasn't for decades. These are the waters that need to be navigated.

Please don't fool yourself, your question to me whether I have a daughter was absolutely shaming language. You just wanted to post, well you don't have a daughter so you don't know or you can't have an opinion.

Interesting points. If you believe that talking to young women about the pitfalls of having unprotected sex is considered 'behavior control', then absolutely sign me up. I have 2 daughters myself and I'm not dumb enough to think that abstinence is the only way. But I will 100% preach to them that if the options are to A) have unprotected sex and roll the dice or B) exercise some self control and save it for a rainy day. My expectation will be that they choose choice B. I'm also raising them to understand that being on the spectrum of promiscuity represents a lack of self respect.

Now to your second paragraph: I'll start by saying you aren't nearly as smart as you think you are, my guy. You aren't qualified to opine about my motivations. You simply don't know me well enough to understand these things. You might want to consider getting over yourself, or better yet do a little fact finding or be inquisitive before saying something so obtuse.

1000% .

I also have a daughter and am also not dumb enough to believe she is going to wait until marriage, but if she so chooses to make a bad decision (such as sex without protection, and it comes with consequences, then she will face those consequences.

That is your opinion and you are entitled to it and be among the minority who have it. The reality is that you cannot control behavior like that. It has been proven time after time. It's the reason abstinence only loses out to true sex education, it's the reason prohibition failed, human behavior can't be controlled.

If you think "no waters need to be navigated" news flash there is a reason that idiom exists (navigating uncharted waters). We live in a world with things no parent has ever handled. I had friends that were bullied, their bullying stopped only when I was around or when they went home. Now with social media, it continues on the interweb regardless of where you are. I know parents who are clueless to that. They also fail to understand that not only do smart phones give their kids access to the world, but more importantly it gives the world access to your kids. They also don't understand what that access does to dopamine levels in the human brain. How do you think the above could have contributed to the current behavior of every generation went through their youth with this kind media?

Contradictory statements? Tell me the majority shame pre-marital sex with a straight face. It's shamed in your echo chamber, venture out into the world a bit. I exist in both hence why I have read and heard those shaming statements.

Yes contradictory statements. You said you have hear all these shameful statements all the time, but yet in the same breath say that pre-marital sex is no longer shamed in our world. So, which is it?

What "behavior" do you think I'm trying to control? One that if you make a choice, you deal with the consequences of that choice? Yep absolutely! Sign me up.

MTG thinks the Democrats have a secret weather machine. For some select few people, a lobotomy may be the only answer.

Pairs nicely with a space laser since Jews are a significant majority Democrats.

Something to think about…

I’m willing to bet the chances that everyone reading this knows someone who has had an abortion, and has no idea that person ever had an abortion. The majority of abortions aren’t surgical. It’s most commonly done with the pills. No one ever knows or realizes they were pregnant. Not their parents, siblings, roommates, friends, or the father of the child. And, it makes complete sense to me why someone in that situation would never want to tell anyone.

Contradictory statements. That's interesting.

No waters need to be navigated, people just need to take some responsibilities for their actions. You choose to have sex, you deal with the consequences of those actions. And I don't think dealing with it should be murder. Period.

One could say the same for the fentanyl crsis.Kids need to keep their mouths closed. Ain't happening.

Sure the difference is that they are killing themselves for their own poor choices, instead of an innocent baby
