my mother and i were arguing in the car over virginity and sex, cos she was dissing my friends who had already done it, and i was telling her that she's thinking like a neolithic creature. after a lengthy discussion, she came out with this: "the new boyfriend will think that his girlfriend is used goods when she's already done it with her ex-boyfriend. and boys like to brag about sex and all his friends will know that his girlfriend is no longer clean."
and i replied, "what's the big deal about bragging about doing something everyone else has already done? and if a boy cannot accept that his girlfriend is not a virgin, it's his problem. what right does he have to judge another person's actions? he has no right to control what she does to her body; whatmore before she met him. we as women, are not subordinate to men; our bodies are not their property. we have every right to have sex and still maintain our dignity, just like men can. and you know, today, when a boy brags about sex, nobody would think what a slut the girl is. everyone would think, what an asshole that boy is."
and my mom couldn't think of a better way to reply, so she said, "you never know, some men wouldn't marry a girl who isn't a virgin."
and i replied, "it's their loss. these men aren't worth marrying anyway. do you want your son-in-law to be a chauvinist who believes i'm his property and controls everything i do, and judges every mistake i commit?"
my mother gave up by telling me enough is enough, mothers are always right, don't be rude and disrespect her opinions, blah blah blah.
p.s. Zer0: they are not wookie paws. ewok paws, maybe, but not wookie. my feet aren't that big.
