Yep, and out of high school too.... I'm surprised the intense social pressure on women to have sex inappropriately ie with irresponsible and fairly disconnected men is not discussed more in our open society, tbh. When I was young and unmarried, the pressure seemed really constant... just because I was accessible - ie able to be talked to - so glad my twenties are behind me lol but gee
Lara, you talk about pressure--wait til you read this: http://thedailybanter.com/2014/06/dear-men-everywhere-women-scared-us/
Maybe that article goes in the "sexting" thread, but I think it also belongs here. There IS intense and constant pressure, and it OFTEN takes the form of harassment.
OMG that link brought back some pretty crappy memories...
how's this? 'Wicked' is a hire care company that rents out rustbuckets to young travellers (including young women, presumably).
They are infamous for their sexist and even apparently racist statements that they put on their vans.
I've not seen a racist one IRL, but I have seen plenty of sexist ones.
Well an 11 year-old girl read the slogan following and showed her Mum... check out the petition.
