Platner's "Frat Boy" Crap Is Why We Should Elect More Women

[3catwoman3]

28. Kudos to your parents. I've often thought that if I were a man, I would find it insulting...

...to have it assumed that I could not control my behavior because of my genitalia/hormones/endocrine system.

I was raised to believe that not only was I responsible for my own sexual behavior, it was also up to me not to let a boy/man become too aroused because erections were so painful if not allowed to proceed to their natural conclusion, so to speak, that it was cruel to create such a situation. Also that the male of the species basically "could not help themselves" from becoming uncontrollably aroused. This lecture was presented many, many times.

To be responsible for someone else's behavior is an unfair burden.

I think my mother was terrified that I would get pregnant out of wedlock. I was a teenager in the middle to late 1960s, when this would have been a social disaster of the worst kind.
