OK, I first read this as "Purty Balls".
Boy, was I wrong.

You can take that to the bank! The event in the photos took place in Colorado Springs, CO, which is a hotbed center of the right-wing socio-religious conservative movement. I think Focus on the Family has its headquarters there, or one of those groups anyway.
A father-and-daughter bonding opportunity seems like a lovely idea, but his whole business of guarding the daughter's virtue and purity--purity!--the language of it!--just seems so retro and melodramatic and Romantic--and not Romantic in a good way. :(

An excellent question - I wish the author of the article had thought to ask it! I would've been very interested to see the responses.

Yes, it's making me flat-out nauseous.

Exactly, Chrissi! "Owner" is really what is meant by all this "protector" talk. Ugh. If these men really want to "protect" their daughters, they can start by educating them so they can protect themselves!

Yeah, that approach is one of the best if what you want to do is harvest a nice big crop of absent fathers in a few years.
I find the "couple" on the left in that first posted photograph especially disturbing. If fact, it looks like a pedophilic re-enactment of the Dozy Embrace.
Not to mention the sly lechery implied in "Purity Balls." Who does daddy in that context want his property daughter to save herself for? Himself?
