Purity Ball

[Nakara]

But is it her decision?

I mean, I'm all for people abstaining and waiting for "the right one."

But this? This is weird. It seems cultish. Why is there so much obsession over a woman's "purity?" Why was she "stripped of her value?" Are women cars or something?

Do the boys have to pledge their virginity to their mothers? Are they disallowed from being alone in a room with a girl? Are they disallowed from being affectionate and kissing their girlfriend? (Don't want to kiss a guy's future wife, eh?)

This is just...weird, and I can't help but think that her decision is influenced by both her upbringing (brainwashing , to put it bluntly) and her family, namely her father. I mean, what do you think would happen if she didn't want to do this? Would her family shrug it off?

I don't think so.

This just seems like another way to control people.
