re: #320 wheat-dogghazi

Here’s anecdote from my high school teaching days. One of our female students had a “reputation,” as we used to say back in the day. Even the teachers knew. Being a fairly liberal school, her activity was tolerated.

One day, she came to school wearing tight jeans and in her back pocket was the clear outline of a packaged condom. It was a teacher who first caught sight of it, but she did nothing about it. But, later on the teacher expressed in the teacher’s break room how shocked she was that the girl was so open about her “availability.”

That same girl is now in her mid-40s, has a good career, has two or three kids, and has been happily married for at least 15 years.

Was the girl advertising her availability or her progressive opinions?
