    How exactly would it work - the honor system or pelvic exams?

    edit: Holy crap I was kidding and they're serious. Yeah, that's not an invasion of privacy AT ALL. :rolleyes:

    Well, it's a voluntary thing. I'd imagine some girls would want an education so much that they'd be willing to give up this violation of their privacy.

    Given the rampant AIDS epidemic in Africa, that's a very good idea.

    Here in America, mandatory is not necessary. But on a voluntary basis is a good idea too.

    Rape victims need not apply, I guess.

    And I understand that, but in truth I'm just sickened by this.

    To me, it seems like a throwback to days gone by when a woman's virginity was roughly checked in order to marry her off.

    Degrading. There should be other scholarships in place, or perhaps more of them.

    What he said. This is revolting. It might appeal to flat-earthers like ITN, but this is puritanical nonsense.

    And notice how this "offer" comes about AFTER Uganda's gotten it's AIDS problem substantively under control relative to before...this is about control.

    Yeah, but come on now. It's just women we're talking about. Who told them they could have rights anyway?

    They should be able to if they can prove they have been raped. Like some court documents...

    Silly me, what am I doing working? And assuming I had equal rights under the law?

    Bah. It's back to the kitchen for me, so that I can pass the time while my father arranges my dowry.

    You know, this thread made me think about the effectiveness of abstinence pledges and how teenagers who take virginity pledges are almost as likely to be infected with a sexually transmitted disease as those who never made the pledge.

    This would be SO easy in America. Just check the applican't computer for installations of World of Warcraft. Installed? Virgin.

    Oh no, you're fine. It's what most pledged virgins resort to in their quest for "purity".

    That and unprotected oral sex.

    Don't mention women whose hymens have been broken without having sex either.

    You have experience in that regard, or just intense desire?
