how can women be expected to be anywhere near perfect if they are often not given the proper tools with which to understand and make decisions?
Seriously! My thoughts exactly. My biggest pet peeve about anything is withholding, confusing, or otherwise blocking access to information. And that seems to be a popular tack in far too many homes and sex-ed programs.
It bothers me because facts and values are not in direct conflict, and never should be. Why some people think withholding facts equals upholding "values" is baffling to me. Those things are not in competition... and any value system that is so easily threatened by disseminating facts is not one I'd ever want to be a part of.
