The whole things weirds me out. I've read other articles about it, and it just seems off to me. The picture of girls getting "purity rings" from their dads, the dads swearing to protect the girls' "purity", and then the prom-like situation between father and daughter.....

I do get what they are trying to do and of course applaud any parent who (as he or she should) takes an active role in guiding their kids' decisions. I'm not entirely certain what makes me uncomfortable about it. I know I would be equally weirded out by a mother-daughter "purity" tea in with oaths and rings and ceremonies.

But I wonder if I'm in the minority. I'm not religious. Maybe if I were this would seem less odd.

I also don't think chastity oaths work, as stated in the article. But it is more the weird vibe it gives me that gives me pause.
