I have found lately that it is not only the 'fire and brimstone' crowd that think of women and girls as subhuman...

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.  :(

whore, pig, trained seal; what difference does it make? sexism is sexism....no matter who says it. and I have found as I said there is plenty of it in all parties and religions. (Hatred of women seems to be the only thing the world can agree on)

And then I got here and saw....

Which sounds more than just a little creepy.

And then I read...

If the father's are protecting the girls, then  who are the boys going to screw around with? ???

Oh, yeah!   ;D

But then,

It kind a makes the girl sound like property - like she doesn't have a brain or a will of her own.

trained seals and pigs have brains??! I don't think so.

Wow, now you know I love you more than the koala in the eucalyptus tree outside my window, Jess, but that sure is a mighty sweeping statement.  :o 

Speaking as a gay man, who has suffered persecution directly as a result of my sexuality, I can think of at least one other group of universally hated and reviled people to add to you existing list of one.  :'(
