I overheard a pretty interesting conversation in the cafeteria today. A group of Jesus Krispies at the table next to me were talking about sex. It was pretty clear that none of them had ever experienced sex; it was pretty funny listening to their awkward speculations. It was obvious that they were two couples - two guys, two girls, both couples holding hands and eating with their free arms. It was very bizarre.

But I digress.

They got to be talking about birth control during this sex conversation. This is where things got really interesting. The girls both claimed that birth control was the sole responsibility of the woman, because she was the one who would have to deal with the consequences. The GUYS said that it was ALSO the male's responsibility because, as one of the boy Krispies put it, "It takes two to tango, you know." The girls claimed that it was the woman's fault if she ended up pregnant, as though the male had nothing to do with it. As one of the girls said, "She CHOSE to have sex, so it's her fault." (Right...because the guy DIDN'T choose?) Her boyfriend countered with, "But the guy may have tempted her, so it might be his fault too." Shouldn't the girls WANT the guys to take responsiblity?

It was very fucked up. I've never heard anything quite like it.




And now, today's Moose Hanging From Power Line by Antlers story... Yeah. This is where I live now.
