Via Feministing, this incredibly scary site and its featured articles’ surprisingly unscary comments:
WHERE ARE THE YOUNG MEN???
VIRGINITY IS A TWO WAY STREET!!!!Do they have a ball with their dads? or their moms?
Has anyone talked the THEM about their actions, their words, their dress, their using girls to get their sexual appetites met? Has anyone talked to them about the exploitation of women in pornography or phone sex?
I bet not.
And no, I would not have my daughters pledge their virginity to their FATHER, but to their GOD.
I am a born-again believer, but this is just sick.

And, honestly. Can we please have a Men’s Chastity Movement? Can we please have a whole industry devoted to teaching men to keep it in their pants instead of this incredibly regressive “it’s the woman’s duty to guard her virtue against men who are wired to assail it” crap where men aren’t responsible for where they stick their dicks.
I’ve never seen how that shit is not incredibly insulting to men, with its implicit assumption that you’re all animals who can’t control your actions. I get that sometimes it’s an excuse for bad behavior, “eh, she just smoked the hog, I wasn’t myself” kind of thing, but come the fuck on. So to speak. Treating you like children who are slaves to your urges does neither sex any favors.
So if we’re going to make a big deal out of virginity, can we have some parity, please?
