Dads: Do you really want to sacrifice your daughter's purity for an education?

[eissa]

Come on, men! Think, will ya?! It's why God gave you a full-sized brain, while only giving one the size of a pea to the inferior gender. Why would you risk sending your precious, virginal daughter to some institution that will only instruct her on how to think, and broaden her horizons, when she's just going to get married and make babies?

Oh, and by the way: if they get raped while at college....totally their fault. Men can't restrain themselves when it comes to the power that women hold between their legs.

2. yeah if I didn't go to college,

I would not have been able to subsidize my mother at the end of her life
I would not have been able to support my ex while he got sober, would have had a drunk husband
I would not have been able to give money to my nieces and nephews for college to help them
I would not have been able to help my brothers out of a few of their financial crisis.

Yep, I would have been poor and my family would have been worse off.

4. But were you de-flowered prior to marriage?

All that other stuff doesn't matter. The men folk need to know that a piece of skin was intact before you married your drunk husband.

5. when my mother got married

the next day, my dad's parents went int o the room, took the bed sheet and hung it outside., Mom did not go to college. But she should have. too poor.

7. Oh, wow! My grandmother's MIL tried to pull that stunt on her

It wasn't even common in my nana's time, but some people in the old country still did it. My grandmother asked her if her daughters were made to produce the wedding night bed sheet. She said, no, of course not. Everyone knows how pure her daughters are, there was no need. So nana said there was no need to show hers either for the same reason.

3. Sounds like my father.

Thankfully by that point I had no need or reason to have to listen and obey anymore. Learned to drive a car (against his will) went to college etc. and have a fine intellectual, musical life. I actually did, in part, all he thought I was good for. If he had lived I could have shown him what a woman is good for. Sadly I did not have that chance.

13. I think that is one of the reasons my father and I don't have a close relationship. He thinks this

way too and it hurts to think this is all he thinks of me.

14. It sucks that is certain

but I have to say it taught me early how to stick up for myself. We fought constantly and he was a beater. I am so thankful that I came of age during the early days of the women's movement. I was able to draw some strength from what I knew of them.

I don't know how old you are but if you are young just keep on doing what you want to do with your life. He may very well learn to respect you but unlikely that he will tell you that. I never got a chance to prove to my father that I could do whatever I set my mind to, it probably would not have changed a thing but I will never know. I DO know I am capable of whatever I put my mind to and have a great deal of respect for what I learned during those very hard years growing up being thought of like that.

15. unfortunately subconsciously I took all of it to heart. I let myself believe all I could be is a

wife and a mother. I love my husband and my children but I am desperate to find my own strength and my own identity. I will never stop trying though.

16. You will.

You can have that and a family. You will find it, just never accept that you can't. It may be tomorrow or 6 years from now but when you do it will be wonderful. The mom gig is a good one, I loved it but was fortunate enough to have my music so I had something outside of that. Keep on, you will find it.

6. You should be more careful with the word rape!

[eissa]

8. If you can stomach it, watch the video

He basically says that (without explicitly using the word "rape.&quot That women are responsible for what happens to them, because men can't control themselves. It's pretty revolting stuff.

9. It is puke-worthy, but it isn't, as Jezebel labels it, a Catholic website.

It's a website by a crazy man who calls himself a Catholic.

But Catholic colleges and universities around the world have have helped to lead the way, historically, in educating women.

10. Disgusting.

[eissa]

11. OMG, the comments on the original site are just gold!

I agree that work is below the dignity of women, but I have only daughters....Who should unload the dishwasher?

Well, so much for college. I guess I should just... sit here. That attracts men, right???

I'm really torn. On the one hand I believe in the formal, legal, and social equality of women and think that higher education is essential. On the other, I have two daughters to educate but would kind of like a beach house.

12. We castrate dogs that can't control themselves

Men who use this line of argument need to think it out to it's logical conclusion. Just saying.
