    What's worse pole dancing or handing out BC pills?

    1) Parental consent. If parents want to let their kids do something that is not illegal, well, I may not like, but I am not the parent. If parents do not consent to handing out BC pills because they already have a responsible method of talking issues out with their kids, I see no reason that the schools should be handing out BC pills OR condoms or non-teenagers.

    2) I don't know what parental/kid pole dancing exercises look like. I understand that many women are getting poles installed in their homes. I am curious how you feel these poles should be discussed with their kids. Please help me out with that conversation. I suspect parental/kid pole dancing exercises are pretty tame. And unlike a jungle gym, they can be housed indoors and used throughout the year.

    3) What is wrong with adults stripping? Why all the stripper hating going on? I thought we were all pro-sex feminists here and agreed that consenting adult behaviors were their own business.... I wish you folks would tag your comments so that we can tell with each one whether we are supposed to be pro-sex or anti-sex.
