Chastity is No Longer a Choice
Social liberals support their stands on abortion and contraception with the claim that they support freedom of choice. They say, “Sure, some people may choose abstinence, but it’s not for everyone. Those who choose to be sexually active must have reproductive health freely available to them.” However antipathy toward chastity (sexual self-control) has been increasing lately. Unfounded attacks are made on abstinence education. Crisis pregnancy are assumed to be scaring women into keeping their babies. Sarah Palin is attacked for not killing her baby with Down’s Syndrome.
Now people who choose chastity are being publicly ridiculed:
From Running Purity Rings Around MTV on the Media Research Center website.
Disney stars the Jonas Brothers and American Idol winner Jordin Sparks have publicly declared their intention to wait until marriage to become sexually active. This public declaration has come under attack.
But announcing this publicly doesn’t come without a price, and that price is mockery.
The “Best Week Ever” blog on Viacom’s VH-1 website featured writer Michelle Collins bragging about losing her own virginity in a druggy haze and sneering that virginity at 17 is too normal to be courageous. “Now, if you’re still waxing ho-etic about your unplowed territory at 30 — and from the inside of your padded cell, of course — then, maybe, we’ll take you seriously.”
The ridicule of these young pop stars became much more prominent when MTV broadcast their latest Video Music Awards show on September 7. The awards-show host was a mangy-looking British degenerate named Russell Brand, and he mocked the Jonas Brothers for their decision. He noted their promise-ringed fingers and insisted “I’d take it a little more seriously if they’d wear it on their genitals.” Brand joked that this decision was “a little bit ungrateful because they could have sex with any woman they want. That is like Superman deciding not to fly and go everywhere on a bus.” Yuk, yuk.
Michelle Collins is able to glorify in her choice to lose her virginity, but the four stars who choose chastity are ridiculed.
It seems that liberalism is showing its true colors. With all their tripe about “free choice” and a woman’s right to “choose,” it seems that choosing virtue is out of the question. Let’s face it, the cultural moguls aren’t about choice. They are about hedonism.
