The Purity is overwhelming
Disturbing to me because:
1)
The ball is a celebration of love between fathers and daughters and a chance for the girls to commit to abstinence.
Some of the girls are 10 and 11 years old. I think it's weird that the fathers are having them, at that age, commit publicly, in a ritualized way, not to screw boys until they're married.
2)
"It actually calls the father to a task," said Randy Wilson ( the founder of the Purity Ball ). "I know that when I am walking through the mall, my daughters watch my eyes and they're noticing if I'm looking up and down another woman coming my way and it bothers them."
Tell me Hypesters with kids, do you think of stuff like this when you're at the mall with your kids? Seems paranoid and twisted to me. Why is he ogling chicks at the mall knowing that his daughter can sense it?
3)
The ball is the brainchild of Randy and Lisa Wilson, a Colorado Springs couple who founded Generations of Light Ministry
Uh, why don't the mothers have balls with their sons? Seems to me that it's part of this sick double standard, which I've seen on the Hype as well. 40 year old man has sex with female student, castrate the son of a b****. 40 year old woman has sex with male student, right f***in' ON! w00t!. Also, the old, "Guy that gets laid a lot is a stud, girl that gets laid a lot is a ****." thing.
The guy said that it's an attempt to show their daughters how a man treats a lady so they know what to look for in a husband. Adorable. So, shouldn't the Mom show the sons what to look for in a wife?
The ball is about not "giving it away" 'cause it would crush Daddy...as if "it" IS Daddy's.

"We believe that the identity of our daughters is tied to the father's heart. If the father isn't involved, our daughters are left to navigate through relationship and culture by themselves,"
So I guess if you're the daughter of a single mother, you are
screwed.

the ball began with eight ballerinas carrying a cross to the front of the dance floor. Later, each of the girls placed a white rose at the foot of the cross.
Bizarre

"It's amazing," said Lauren Wilson, who is home-schooled. "You feel like a princess getting to dress up and knowing the person you're dancing with loves you so much. I want to feel beautiful to him more than anyone else in my life.
That's sick. And imagine a 10 year old boy saying, "I want to feel handsome to my Mom more than anyone else in my life." WTF?
Why does she want to make sure Daddy finds her attractive?
7)
Such events have been criticized by secular scholars as sexist, because they equate a woman's humanity with her sexuality. " "Purity as a word - that has to do with whether your water is contaminated or not," Roberts said. "I don't like it being described for a human being. Why is it called a purity ball? Why isn't it called the respect-my-daughter ball? We never talk about men's purity."
Does this seem normal to you? Why not just have events where fathers and daughters have a good time and bond? Why tie it to SEX?
and......

The moment I put my hand in my father's, I felt like a princess. In those six precious hours, I believe I grew in relationship with my father more than I ever have.
SIX HOURS? Thats as long as watching The Fellowship of the Ring and the Two Towers in a row!
freaks
