ChastityFest 2k7

Jen and I are practically in tears over the fact that this event on Tuesday, a panel discussion called “Modest Proposals,” is full up, so we can’t go. Because it offers a chance to see — live and in the modestly-clothed flesh! — Laura Sessions Stepp, Wendy Shalit, and Dawn Eden. (Plus Dr. Miriam Grossman and the founder of Princeton’s chastity group).
Wowza. It’s bound to be chock full of slut-shaming, victim-blaming, and pining for the good ol’ days when women went to college to earn their MRS.
I so wish I could be there to ask them about this new study debunking the abstinence-only talking-point that people who lose their virginity earlier are more likely to become juvenile delinquents. Or to ask Laura Sessions Stepp whether she finds baking cookies more fulfilling than having orgasms. Or to ask Wendy Shalit why she manufactured quotes from the Abercrombie girlcott crew. Or to ask Dawn Eden to sing.
Has anyone RSVP’d to this event? Let us know in comments. At the very least, I assume why.i.hate.dc will have a full rundown on the appalling quotes of the evening, and I’ll have a follow-up post on Wednesday.
