I have heard of arguments against premarital sex, mostly accompanying the adage, "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free"?
Do they think so poorly of the woman that they are willing to tell her to her face that she's not worth marrying except for sex?
Am I missing something about the wisdom of this adage? My friend's mother told her that, and I had to bite my tongue. Why would a mother tell her daughter that a man doesn't need to marry her if she puts out? She is intelligent and nice, and she proved her mother wrong by marrying a great guy, even though she engaged in premarital sex.
So, are mothers intentionally being cruel to their daughters by implying that they are only good for sex, or do people just not think about what this comment really says?
