girls were not 'created' to feel accepted by men. are we still living in the middle ages where the daughter was given as property from the father to the husband?

he does not sincerely hope his daughter really understands what she's doing. if she did understand, she'd realize he is a controlling and sick pervert focused only on his daughter's hymen. oh yeah and these girls are going to be masturbating until their hands fall off.

"Persuades girls to abstain from sex until they are married."
What about the guys? It takes two to tango. and if we concentrate so heavily on a girl's virginity before marriage, it puts an enormous pressure on her and none on him. kids should not have this kind of religious bullshit shoved down their throats at such an early age. this is to an extent that its just about mental abuse. imagine the pressure and guilt these kids must feel when they get to puberty and think their feelings are wrong?

Of course, it's always the womenfolk who have to stay pure (for some mysterious reason) but not the men. I want to see a ball where mothers take their sons and see how the religious right handles that.

Somehow I cannot help but wonder whether this whole thing is a money-making racket. I mean, people are making money from the sales of these dresses, crowns, jewelry, tickets to the events, the food and so forth.
There is nothing wrong with encouraging young people to be celibate until they are married, but being celibate should be for one's own sake and no one else's.
I have also heard of integrity balls for boys-moms; they are just as bad in that they imply that women are the property of men.
