BLARGH.

I turned on the TV just in time to see an ABC News report on purity balls.

*scrubs eyeballs with bleach*

The creepiest was the guy who said that if your daughter is not a virgin on her wedding day, then what are you giving away when she gets married?

Ick. I don't think my skin is going to stop crawling anytime soon.

Veiwpoints such as these make me sad for the girls in question, because it makes me wonder what their fathers see in them. If their fathers think the only thing of importance in their daughters is what's between their legs, then that's just sad.

Furthermore, the very idea of my father ever talking about my virginity or lack thereof makes me want to hide under the couch. I mean seriously, the embarrassment would be so strong with me.

Seriously. And considering how well these purity balls supposedly work in keeping these girls virgins until marriage -- as in, not very -- the attitude that these girls are worthless on their wedding days without their virginity is disgusting.
