Subject: RE: BS: Want to see John McCain Squirm? -Video
I took nothing out of context. I have addressed all of the points that were made in the post in question.

On the subject of my son's access to condoms... yes, that was my decision to make without the need for approval from his father, since I had legal custody that was awarded to me by the court. It worked out well that way, because he didn't feel comfortable talking about stuff like that with his father.

I would never teach my son that a woman who has had sex prior to marriage is damaged goods (has been "passed around"), any more than I would teach him that he is damaged goods if he has sex prior to marriage. I taught him by example, and by telling him, that when one harms another, he or she also harms him or herself. I'm glad I did so, because he has grown up to be a very caring person with a tremendous amount of personal integrity (who has no interest in casual sex), instead of growing up to be the kind of misogynist who would say that a woman who has had sex prior to marriage has been "passed around".

Having said all of that, however, I think I'll now let the troll have the thread to him or herself.
