And the winner is Vice Magazine and their discussion of Purity Balls “If anyone should own your flower, shouldn’t it be your mum? She pushed you out of hers after all. Why not have a Mom and Daughter Ball?”
Indeed. I mean how “pure” is it to discuss your sexually activities or lack there of with your pops? Further more, how “pure” is it to then dance the night away with your pops after said discussion. And finally how “pure” do we really think all these chaste girls remain?
This purity ball is being hosted by an organization that when you click the “STD education page” it provides links to abstinence sights. Is that really educational information regarding STD’s? What happens when daddy’s little girl finds herself in the heat of moment completely oblivious to the concept of safe sex, condoms or any birth control methods?
The Father Daughter Purity Ball site explains “Fathers, set this time aside to just be there for her and make her feel like the princess that she is. Maybe she has already made a commitment, maybe she has broken her commitment, or this could be the first time she has really thought about making this commitment. ”
Princess? Whatever happen to birthday party tiaras and dress-up time tulle skirts to fulfill her princess desires? Or maybe she doesn’t want to be a princess? Maybe she wants to be a lawyer or a basketball player?
And maybe she broken the commitment?! You mean these purity balls don’t guarantee 100% pre-martial virginity? No! You mean to say teenage girls lie to their parents about their sex lives? You mean to say that teenage girls actually disobey their parents wishes to remain virgins? No way!
Look I’m not promoting or condoning young girls having sex, but I am a strong believer in education, which includes sexual education. But really, go on, tango the evening away as you celebrate your daughters forced decision to “celebrate her body with God.”
