School Tries To Slut-Shame Female Students Into Keeping Their Legs Closed After Prom
If teeny bopper movies and after-school specials are to be believed, prom and sex go together like, well, prom and sex. It’s an old pop culture standby: prom night is the big night to finally get it on. Of course in real life we’re individuals who put a lot of consideration into our decisions to have sex or not, but a Wisconsin high school principal was still worried, so he decided to encourage students to make ‘good’ choices on prom night the only way he knew how: by allowing religious groups to sponsor and hang ridiculous posters encouraging girls not to do the horizontal boogey, or else.
According to Raw Story, staff at Lincoln High School in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, are removing a bunch of heinous anti-sex posters after their kickass student body voiced complaints over the posters’ sexist messages. The poster features the silhouette of a woman composed of words like classy, courageous, honest, and good, beneath the slogan “A Night To Protect Her Character.”
Apparently a woman’s character depends solely on whether or not she has sex. We have to be super careful as ladies because if you stop pinching the aspirin between your knees for even a second, your character just goes flying right out of your vagina. No word on what happens to boys, but I’m pretty sure they just get high-fived.
The posters were sponsored by The Crossing of Manitowoc County, a Christian anti-abortion group, and Holy Family Memorial, a Catholic healthcare provider. At the bottom is the school principal’s signature as a symbol of endorsement. It’s a gross, sexist means of hocking virginity, and apparently students felt the same way.
