Watch Bill Maher, he sums up the approach I will be taking for my first blog.
Sitting infront of my computer, searching throughout Erin Anderssen and Caroline Alphonso's writings on the HPV vacine, I desperately saught out to find hidden encrypted messages and symbols in a haze of words such as "innocent" and "morality," it was not until I was slapped in the back of the head by an almost invisable hand, well okay, not quite invisable and not quite a hand either, but you get the idea.....that I realized that it was the social context of "sex" that seemed to make such an issue so heated when it was adressing the actions that ones child would partake in the future. What daddy used to brag to his buddies about back in highschool now means social isolation for his little girl when she now becomes of age. The conceptual meaning for "sex" seems to have evolved now that it is his little girl that he has in mind. While "sex" had once been synonimous with a good time back in the day, the very thought about ones daughter disturbds and haunts "daddy." Much like in this scene from Bad Boys II. (pardon the French in this video)
The article heats up when the heroic defenders of morality express keen insight as to how such a vacination, with its preventative measures against cervical cancer, is not worth the moral sacrifice our youth would be subjected to, for in taking the vacination, the clock immediately begins to count down as they plumit into the abyss of sexual intercourse. (insert scary halloween like sound effects here) They have now symbolized "sex" as being some lowly act in which some braced brunette under the spell of the HPV vacination is now to succumb to Pimple Pete's diseased ridden quivering member. I wonder if this is how it went down with the condom? If so, look as to how that has altered society now currently accepted meaning of "sex." Last time I checked however, the condom never promised to be a cure for any form of cancer.
So look past these fears. Protect your child as best as you can, for it is your job as a parent! Now having realized that your child is physically protected, rest in knowing you've done all you can, they are going to make any decission regarding sex themselves, much like the decissions you had made after the dreaded birds and bee's conversation shared with you parents. But if the situation does arrise where you get to be protective over your little ones and their innocence, go ahead, have a little fun scarying the hell out of em. Short of idea's follow these ones.
