[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are people who "celebrate" periods the same people who send their daughters to dances with their fathers? Ick[/quote]

No, no, just the opposite.  Have you ever heard of Japanese Purity Ball?  LOL.  No.  This is a MAGA concept.

[i]A purity ball (or chastity ball) is a formal, prom-like event, primarily in the U.S. evangelical Christian community, where fathers and daughters dance and pledge to maintain the daughter's virginity until marriage. Originating in 1998, these ceremonies aim to strengthen father-daughter bonds and promote sexual abstinence.

[b]Key Aspects of Purity Balls:[/b]

[b]The Vow:[/b] Daughters often pledge to remain virgins, while fathers pledge to protect their daughters' "purity of mind, body, and soul".

[b]Symbolism:[/b] Fathers often present their daughters with rings or other tokens as symbols of their purity pledge.

[b]Cultural Context:[/b] These events are part of the broader abstinence-only-until-marriage movement, often designed to reinforce the father's role as the spiritual "head" or "protector" of the household.

[b]Critiques:[/b] Critics, including scholars and feminists, argue these events promote restrictive gender roles, place excessive pressure on young women, and can normalize the view of daughters as property.

[b]Prevalence:[/b] While popular in the early 2000s, they represent a specific aspect of "purity culture".

Note: The term "chastity ball" is less commonly used than "purity ball" in public discourse.[/i][/quote]
