  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Misogyny is disgusting

It Isn’t Just T.I. — Virginity Testing Is a Worldwide Problem

Virginity testing is used to control and punish women worldwide — and in the United States, it’s more common than you’d think

Indeed, in the United States it seems to happen fairly regularly behind closed doors: according to a 2016 survey of 288 physicians, 10% responded that they had been asked by a parent or a family member to perform the two-finger test on a patient, and 34% said they had performed it themselves (though many physicians interviewed by Marie Claire said they had lied to parents about the results, for fear of endangering the patient.)

This has nothing to do with misogyny, it has to do with fatherly love. A guy down my street has this decal on his truck:

It's not loving to act as though you possess something that is owned by another person, or to think you can control another person's actions.

I had a father like that .......I avoided him for most of the 30 years before he died . My grandmother used to invite them in and get to know them as people. I think my grandmother’s Way was better.

Alot of rap music is openly misogynistic, no surprises there.
the music is openly misogynistic but they usually don’t treat their daughters like that . This virgin exam is disgusting misogynistic and horrible no matter who does it.

Parents who ask a physician to do this should be treated as sexual abusers.

And a physicians duty is to the health of their patient, not the family's honor or reputation. Perhaps physicians need to report such families to DCF for investigation.

Even being careful does not guarantee safety. A few years ago a highly experienced motorcycle cop was struck full in the face by a bird. He died.
birds break their own necks when they fly into glass . that’s not surprising, just unfortunate!

Perhaps I should have said they both died.
I meant to emphasize the force generated or the speed that birds fly at. Added to a motorcycle going head on . Physics 101 . I assumed the bird died.

This is disgusting!

It’s not possible to check a girl’s hymen and be sure that it’s intact. For example, if she’s athletic she’s not going to have one. This explains a lot why older women ( my generation and older) were discouraged from being physically active as children. This inactivity is why so many older women have osteoporosis.

This practice also teaches daughters and women that they are a man’s property and that their only worth depends on apiece of skin that they might not have in the first place.

Some women “ watch “ their daughters periods. Not to keep track of them for health reasons but to harass the daughter over a sex life they
might or might not be getting . It’s the same type of emotionally abusive behavior .

If you think that is gross, just think about some men out here who *must* be their daughter's "first" before any guy they will ever meet! There is more things people do in secret than the public realizes.

To mess up and humiliate your kid ? To demonstrate your total lack of confidence on her ? To make her consider what else she could do sexually that did not register on these checks if just to rebel ? Pure idiocy.

Five years later the rapper is wondering why the girl run away, hates him now and probably never lets him see his future grandkids.

Or maybe you guide your children through dating process and how to find someone to have a relationship with. This may be funny on the surface but it is not love. Love does not say to another that you get to control another person. Put down the shotgun and start parenting.

I wasn't going to respond when it was just a couple of people commenting, but when 6 people take a joke window decal seriously it behooves me to inform you all that IT'S A JOKE.
