Perhaps so. But it reminds me of a statement I heard in the movie "The Last of the Mohicans": "Sir, I would rather be guilty of the most grievous error of judgement, than forfeit authority over my decisions." I don't think it wise to encourage young women to allow themselves to be swayed to move in directions which others prepare for them. It would be of greater benefit - to them primarily and secondarily to their community - that they be instructed on matters of Life in the Real World, and on the manner of strengthening their resolve against any kind of external persuasions. This would include the sexual advances of males who have no plans to deal with the consequences of their impregnations. .. Blanc
