Penthesilea:
An excerpt from the above linked article:

"When Kylie was 13, her parents took her on a hike in Lake Tahoe, Calif. "We discussed what it means to be a teenager in today's world," she says. They gave her a charm for her bracelet--a lock in the shape of a heart. Her father has the key. On my wedding day, he'll give it to my husband," she explains. "It's a symbol of my father giving up the covering of my heart, protecting me, since it means my husband is now the protector. He becomes like the shield to my heart, to love me as I'm supposed to be loved."


A modern chastitiy belt; the key given from one owner to the next - all symbolically of course. :P

There is something about the whole thing that makes me feel a little sick in the stomach.

I can understand the fathers mean well in protecting their daughters, but somehow I feel that it is a little self righteous and overpowering.

I often wonder how these girls react to sex when they finally do get married.

And it does reek of double standards as far as the boys go, as has been mentioned here.

I dont know, Its hard to knock a parent for looking out for the well being of their daughter, but something about this approach, just doesn't look right to me.
