I expect this to depress me this evening, even if it doesn't cover anything I don't already know.

+It's on PBS stations anywhere, you can look up showtimes in your area. Should be repeated tomorrow many places. It's short, mostly about South Dakota. Apparently there are some web only bits at http://www.pbs.org/now/ ...The interviewer seems to be restraining herself mightily from giving the smug sanctimonious head of the abstinence education movement a slap with a shoe. ++Alas, there are no "desirious of shoe-slapping" confessions at the website, but there are broader things covered than the televised bit was able to do.

Oh, I agree. The whole virginity thing anywhere is dehumanizing. The massive emphasis on teenage GIRLS' purity is pretty telling. The nonsense about predatory deceitful males being after the innocent female's body while she is gullibly seeking love and security....because women have no sex drive, of course... and have to carefully guard their one most precious commodity so that someone will value her enough to take her on as a dependent when they reach adulthood...

The born-again virgin movement is only mildly less revolting.

Add the words "born-again" to any description, and it becomes revolting. Try it...
Born- Again Vegans;
Born- Again PETA campaigner;
Born- Again Anarchists.
All wankers.
