Purity Rings and juxtaposing virginity

Watching fathers put rings on thier daughters fingers, while they where white dresses, is just creepy, this evangelical wave, washing over the US, validating the hypocrisy that woman should remain virgins until marriage, yet boys become men after they have sex. Thankfully this is my blog and for now I'm free to think and say what I believe. This paradigm is flawed and fails every time. Women have not, and were not, ever a commodity to be bought and sold and traded. That includes their virginity. These young girls being raised to believe that it's their place to work in the household, where it's the man's job to go out and get a job and provide; is antiquated in the extreme we don't live in that world anymore. Purity rings are a complete hypocrisy when so many companies make billions of dollars selling sex and beauty to young girls and then making it okay by forcing them to wear purity rings and pretend that they're not ever going to have sex until marriage when that continuously leads to problems, this thinking leads young girls into believing the Barbie perfection, self-hatred, bulimia, anorexia, and probably thousands of other self-deprecating things that are only going to bring mental and physical harm to them as they grow into adulthood. I'm going to leave this one right here and think about this I think if I continue it's just going to be standing on a soapbox and I don't want to reduce something this important to that kind of sentimentality so I'm going to end it here be well, I'll see you in the next post. Update : where does this dichotomy come from where men, and boys are different in this venue then girls, women. It seems like when it comes to a subject of this magnitude it should be all or none, the rule should be the same, either virginity is something sacred and to be held as special or it's something that is a mark of adulthood, we can't have it both ways. We need to start looking at our children's health and safety and future as something more than just a religious castoff we need to realize that abstinence only doesn't work our children are going to have sex and if we don't keep an open forum for that they're going to do it behind our backs where we're not going to know until it's happening when we find our children have contracted some deadly disease or we have a pregnancy in the family. Is this something we want to think about hell no, but for our children as the ADULTS, we don't have a choice. If we don't talk to our kids who will, there peers, and the guy who wants the get laid, GET IT?
