Vaginas Are Like "Little Hoover Vacuums," and Other Things Abstinence Lecturers Get Paid to Tell Teens. —Dana Liebelson on Mon.
November 18, 2013 4:00 AM PDT I went to public high school in Montana, where at least once a year we were shuffled into the gymnasium for lectures from abstinence-only educational speakers on how to make "good choices. " Young, sprightly twentysomethings, who often resembled Ken and Barbie, would dance around the auditorium playing Christian rock and trying to convince us that having sex wasn't cool. In between all the jokes and music, I learned that condoms cause cancer and that sex is a bad deal for women. Turns out, I wasn't alone. Justin Lookadoo: "God made guys as leaders.

By Tara Culp-Ressler "High Schooler Protests ‘Slut-Shaming’ Abstinence Assembly Despite Alleged Threats From Her Principal" High school senior Katelyn Campbell A West Virginia high school student is filing an injunction against her principal, who she claims is threatening to punish her for speaking out against a factually inaccurate abstinence assembly at her school.
Katelyn Campbell, who is the student body vice president at George Washington High School, alleges her principal threatened to call the college where she’s been accepted to report that she has “bad character.” George Washington High School recently hosted a conservative speaker, Pam Stenzel, who travels around the country to advocate an abstinence-only approach to teen sexuality.

Hey, Girls, 'Modesty' Is Bullshit. Dads, You Don't Own Your Daughters. In New York City recently, a father showed up at his daughter’s school swinging, I kid you not, a chain and padlock, demanding to know who was having sexual intercourse with his daughter1.
His daughter, fortunately, lives with her mother, and thus hopefully isn’t subjected to this sort of thing on a regular basis. Authorities were called, he was slapped with a raft of charges, and the story made the news for being such an outrageous example of “overprotective” parenting. But the story has me thinking about an issue I’ve been turning over in my head for a while. As Jessica Wakeman at the Frisky put it, “Perhaps in jail someone will explain to him that he is not in charge of his daughter’s vagina.” Padlocks and chains are for securing physical property, not daughters.
