Wishing my beautiful daughter a great time at prom after I shoot her date in the dick

Basically, only women or teenage girls who are dirty whores enthusiastically have sex before marriage. Therefore, if my daughter has sex with her boyfriend, it would make her a dirty whore. I don’t want to think of my little girl as a dirty whore. Therefore, I’d better do all I can to stop her from getting the dirty whore label.

Kupo and Treehugger, I highly doubt the majority of Americans have those attitudes anymore, outside of observant, church going Christians (who are a minority in the USA). Or I should say, the religiously observant (taking into account Jews, Muslims and some other fanatically religiously affiliated Americans).

Sex before marriage has been normalized a long time ago in the US.

25%?! That can’t be according to the latest PEW. My impression is that Christianity is all but gone, on its last leg in the usa, accept for some reconfigured “cultural Christianity lite” like Christmas vacation and trees and shopping.

The Bible Belt maybe (and that’s a big maybe) 25%. But that’s a small portion of the states.

And you live where, exactly?

“I find Mr. Feely’s joke unfunny for two reasons: first, because to find the joke funny would require me to sympathize with the father and agree with the assertion that women shouldn’t make their own choices, that they are daddy’s personal property and their sexuality should be shamed and repressed.”

Well she’s a high school kid living with and off her parents presumably so they would have some say in her personal life, maybe even legally, depending on her age. Not property, but parents do have say.

Feelzy’s trope is a tired cliché however.

Let me guess, in Blockers the kids did whatever they wanted anyway right? And come out looking “wise beyond their years” while their parents were made to look like silly fools.

This “joke” is literally part of purity culture. You’re saying you don’t think anyone partake in the culture this joke originates from and you’re using that as a reason to assume the joke has some other context. Christians make up 70% of Americans. Evangelicals 25%.

Dvar, I saw the last 15 mins of the movie, coming out of I Feel Pretty. there were 3 friends and their 3 parents, so each friend had a different experience. That one’s sex partner didn’t get beat up (the dad made a goofy attempt but the boy escaped unscathed and unbothered). They did have sex, oral sex, but I guess since Slick Willy oral sex is not considered sex anymore LOL! There was another girl who engaged in over clothing simulation and she turned out to be lesbian (and everyone was coolers with that (but of course), so “feminist, respectful of ‘agency'”. The one who actually had I guess what is considered “real sex” (since the 90s), that is p-v intercourse, her spying mom got googly eyed after seeing how starry eyed her daughter stared into her “sensitive guy” boyfriends eyes while dancing and she thought “awww” and left the room, giving them their privacy. So “feminist, agency, wow”.

The film ended with typical tired old American tropes: wise kids, foolish goofy parents who shouldn’t have even thought about having a say in their kids’ personal lives (despite paying for everything). I mean, how dare parents have an opinion and set boundaries, right? Which they didn’t in this movie anyway, (otherwise it would not have been positively received).

Also the girls displayed sufficient raunch and know how so “feminist, agency, yay”

Then there was this weird post-ending part where one of the girls found her parents nude and playing “marco polo”. gross.

in general, just enough of teen porn and parent porn lite to garner “feminist, agency, yay” tropey laughs.

don’t even get me started on I Feel Pretty, which had its positive, funny moments but totally non (even anti) feminist despite trying to be empowering, self accepting, body positive.

Here’s some actual data (2014, source: Pew.)
http://www.pewforum.org/religious-landscape-study/attendance-at-religious-services/

On average, 36% of Americans say they attend church at least once a week. This breaks down by sect as follows:
Catholic: 39%
Evangelical: 58%
Orthodox: 31%
Muslim: 45%
Jewish: 19%
Nones: 4%
(Other sects were mentioned and I haven’t included them here)

…by age bracket as follows:
18-29: 27%
30-49: 33%
50-64: 38%
65+: 48%

…by racial category as follows:
White: 34%
Black: 47%
Asian: 26%
Latino: 39%
Other: 34%

…and by household income as follows:
Less than $30,000: 35%
$30,000-$49,999: 35%
$50,000-$99,999: 37%
$100,000 or more: 30%

The Pew data includes a breakdown by individual state, by education, by gender, et cetera. It’s well worth going through if you’re at all a stats nerd.

Thanks Idli!

I see now that LindsayIrene and I were referring to the same data. Apologies for the redundancy, LindsayIrene.

I think it was meant to be a joke, maybe in poor taste. He’s a father who knows to protect his family, jeez

This is truly…
