    My good friend is a high school teacher. She has plenty of stories of teenage girls saying that they want to be a house wife when they grow up. Are their mothers teaching them this way of thinking?

Is there something inherently wrong with wanting to be a wife and mother? I don't want young women to grow up wanting to be a doormat, but I think there is a powerful difference that you're missing.

    If a religious leader tells you you have to be a virgin, laugh at him and point out to him that he's clearly jealous...

What exactly is wrong with virginity?
