So many bad takes in this thread. Here’s mine:
You might not get the chance. I learned about virginity from the foul mouthed children on my school bus years before any adult thought it was time for proper sex education.

The first time you try anything new, you are going to be shit at it. Why the obsession with what’s more likely than not going to be some awkward fumbling?
It’s just so weird that this is considered a pivotal event that somehow marks you. Changes something about you like a magic enchantment getting broken.
I read this comment as saying:
It seems that this comment section focuses a bit too much on the less important parts of the message, and don't appreciate the context.
My only problem with this post is the implied body-shaming. Otherwise 10/10
I read it as referring to immaturity rather than literal body shaming. Like, the post is telling a girl it's okay to hook up with a teenage boy from her high school who just got his first car. She doesn't have to "save herself" for marriage or even some idealized perfect man later in life.
I grew up in the Assemblies of God, so I was on the receiving end of a lot of purity culture messaging. There was more than a reasonable amount of discussion of how "God has chosen your perfect husband and you have to wait for him."
I'm definitely not on board with the body shaming if that's how it was intended. I just see that there's more than one way to interpret that particular phrase. I choose to go with the more figurative version, which apparently puts me in the minority.
Part 4 is the most important.
Kind of like a "fuck around find out", except it's more of a , "fuck around and systemically dismantle your oppressors" kinda thing
OVERTHROW THE GOVERNMENT!!!!!!
Eh. Good message wrapped up in weird body shaming, class shaming, vaguely misandrist 'rhetoric'.
This aint it. It's close to it. They're the same aisle. But it aint it.
Yeah, it's the type of post I'd privately nod+caveat if a friend made it, but not the type of post I'm sharing everywhere.
The wrong kind of person is going to love that OOP is body-shaming and poverty-shaming because they feel putting people down is fun and/or uplifts them.
I'm also not convinced that teaching your kids that sex is a non event is a good idea either.
Also I'm confused about what's wrong with the Honda civic, if you got one with all the optional extras it would be quite expensive, not that matters, but it's just a weird vehicle to have chosen to indicate lack of money. Should have gone with something like a Nissan Micra, it would have still been the stupid take, but at least it would have made sense.
They’re telling on themselves. 🙂
The Civic is illustrating how mundane the event was, in contrast to the people who want beds of rose pedals and candles for their first time.
Is this implying that a horse cocked boy whose daddy bought him a fancy car could be taking something? Or are we just shaming a body type and class for comedic effect?
I hope the joke is about calling out a sexist value judgement while engaging with sexist value judgements.
This is far too radical.
The Honda Civic is a reliable car with a solid price point.
The problem with civics is that they're inferior to the glorious fit
Probably why it is mentioned. It's a very popular first car for those reasons and means there's a damn good chance that is what will show up in the driveway. They aren't shitting on the car in my opinion.
The concept of virginity, particularly the idea that a woman's sexual history somehow determines her worth, was heavily shaped by patriarchal societies that used women's sexuality as a means of controlling inheritance, marriage, and political power.
The idea that an individual somehow becomes less of a person simply because she has had sex is absurd. A woman's value does not diminish because someone has given her a label or because she has engaged in a perfectly ordinary human act.
And then there is the glaring double standard. The man who had sex with her is often treated as some kind of hero, while she is supposedly diminished by the exact same act. He gets the bragging rights and the high fives; she gets judged for it.
So apparently a man's virginity is irrelevant, but a woman's is supposed to be sacred. Not the person, mind you. The vagina.
What a load of crap.
Men are shammed for being virgins, since it is like a mayor achievement to fuck a woman who is supposed to be really choosy and not want to get fucked, because she gets shamed for not being a virgin.
Solution: men should just fuck men.
"I refuse to teach my daughter about virginity. I will instead teach her to judge a man by his car and penis size."
