Bummer about your foot.
But isn't the point of activism to try to change social phenomena which you think oppress people? I realize that there are absolutely people in our society who choose to abide by traditional views of sex and marriage. And I fully support those who do so of their own volition. I am all for people expressing their sexuality in whatever way they see fit (including abstinence). But parents who teach their children that sex is bad, and therefore they shouldn't participate in it, do not equip them to make informed decisions that deviate from celibacy. Therefore, their children make stupid decions (to not use protection, sleep with people who are abusive, etc), because they are not equipped with the knowledge to explore their sexuality safely. This sort of ignorance strikes me as being a nearly universal social problem. I think it would be wrong of me to not express my distaste for such folly.
For how else does the world change, but by people asserting their ideas that things could be better?

Well then. . . we appear to have misunderstood each other. I have no qualms about marriage or monogamy. I don't imagine they're for everybody, but I am certainly not opposed to them. . .
So there you have it.
