I am indebted to larians for bringing the above to my attention.



Now you girls, be good, and don't go having sex of your own accord or before marriage. Or God who loves you very much will give you cuntrot and kill you. We don't want to encourage you into promiscuous activity, so no vaccination against cervical cancer for you. You shouldn't need it. Unless you're a slut.

I agree that info is everywhere, but the messages are so mixed: sexualisation is big business (Was it Argos who started the line of thong panties and push up bras for little girls? Got discontinued I think) Public 'slutdom' is good business. Pretty ones ala Paris Hilton earn lots of money. Even ugly sluts a la Jade Goody can become celebrities) In the hype, the medical facts about pregnancy and stds and cervical cancers either get lost in school unheard, or get reinterpreted through some moral viewpoint.
