Purity Ball

[Nakara]

This. Why does dad get to become the one who decides his daughter's sexual life? That's just weird and gross.

And why don't boys have to go through the same thing?

Why are women objectified and are "valued" based on their "purity?"

And like I said before, is this REALLY her choice? Would her relationship with her family not be in jeopardy if she decided not to do this? What about her relationship with her peers?

Indoctrination and shaming are powerful tools.

It's the daughter making the decision.  It the father vowing to support and protect.  The ball is just their way of making it official.  Their choice, and I can't imagine it's hurting anybody in itself, so not sure why it's an issue for atheists.

Mate, look through the video comments. There are CHRISTIANS expressing concerns over this. I even read a story about a woman who went through something similar with purity rings, and now she struggles with the guilt and has difficulty being comfortable with sex.

I even wonder if my asexually stems from how much my parents insisted on abstinence and waiting before marriage.

So don't tell me it isn't hurting anybody.
