DUD's letter reminds me of something that happened in my family that really just made me mad. I'm the oldest kid, and the only girl. When I was in high school, there was a STRICT no boys in the bedroom policy. And I mean strict. We could sit in the living room with the door open, and mom would check in.
Meanwhile, little brother comes along, and when he turns 16, reveals that he's gay. Mom and Dad are so supportive, they let him and his boyfriend have sleepovers. SLEEPOVERS. All night, with the door closed.
I'm glad my parents aren't homophobic at all, but they are is sexist. And the pregnancy argument isn't gonna fly. There was no way I was gonna get pregnant/give birth to a child. I was always very careful- more careful than mom and dad; did I mention little brother was an 'accident baby'?
