Related: About this forumDo you find Mother-Son Date Knight to be as creepy as the Father-Daughter purity balls?
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022763418I saw this thread today and while I agree that it's weird in the extreme, I don't think it approaches the total creepiness of the purity balls - at least the sons aren't pledging to guard their mother's virginity, or something.

If not, then no.
I don't think they mean 'date' the way many people are obviously interpreting the word.

If it has anything to do with the son singing a pledge of ownership of his virginity to his mom, for her to give to another woman when he gets married, then yeah just as creepy.

hell it is.
???
Is it a "virginity" thing like the "purity balls" or is it something else?

But-/Given the histories of famous knights and Queens--Guinevere and Lancelot for instance, this is a big Yuk.
