Whereas many adults are all worried about "kids these days" and the supposed over-sexualization of our culture, I'm actually worried about this whole abstinence-only trend being touted by Wal-Mart, evangelical right-wingers, and all these promise-ring proponents. I just think that nothing good can come from being ashamed of natural physical maturation and desires. And I also really hate the idea, expressed by Jordin Sparks last night during the VMAs, that people who have sex at all are sluts. On The View today, Elisabeth Hasselbeck unsurprisingly lauded Jordin, which led the panelists to have a conversation about what exactly it means to be a slut. My favorite was Joy Behar's: "If it's not boring, then you're a slut." Clip above.
