A Problem

"Many children these days know far too much too soon, and as a result they end up, in some fundamental way, not knowing-stunted and cut off from all they could be. If you are not taught that you "really" want just sex, you end up seeking much more. The peculiar way our culture tries to prevent young women from seeking more than "just sex," the way it attempts to rid us of our romantic hopes or, variously, our embarrassment and our "hang-ups" is a very misguided effort. It is, I will argue, no less than an attempt to cure womanhood itself, and in many cases it has actually put us in danger."
Wendy Shalit " A Return to Modesty: Discovering the lost virtue"

This is so true.
