The title says it all, and yes this is a major "fuck you" to my potential future in laws.
Lets examine the situation at it's core first, just the facts, no icing.
Gender A is allowed to have a sleepover with another Gender A because societal norms have dictated that homosexual relationships among teenagers are non-existant for some retarded reason. However, Gender A cannot have a sleepover with Gender B because Gender B is quite simply, Gender B.
Replace each "Gender" in that with "Race" and we'd have the Supreme Court all over our ass in an instant.
My point? This is discrimination, and I have a pretty big problem with discrimination. People are people, and should be judged the same, regardless of race and of course gender. We are born into a gender, we do not choose it, I will never criticise or discriminate someone based on a matter they have no choice in. Dick or no dick, you are a person, and should be treated as an equal.
The obvious assumption here is that we would do sexual things if we had a sleepover, cultural bias has led us to cast men in an ill-light, especially men from the teenage sub group. This "arguement" supporting discrimination against co-ed sleepovers/interaction is the equivalent of saying "All niggers eat fried chicken and steal our white women, and the ones who dont are planning to anyway." Keep in mind that even if all African Americans are indeed eating fried chicken and stealing our white women, they have every right to.
That is, who is to say that me and my significant other should not be allowed to have sex? Out of necessity I must inform all of you new to philosophical arguement that "Because the law says so." is not a valid retort in this case, this is an arguement of ethics, we are not debating what is, we are debating what ought to be.
Saying "Because teenage sex is wrong." merits explanation as to why it is so, and I have yet to hear one. By all means though, enlighten me.
Me, my girlfriend, and every other human are conscious beings, it is through our consciousness that we inherit our rights, and there are no valid arguements that prove we deserve to be treated differently because we are not adults, or because I am a man and she is a woman, or for any other inherent reason.
In short, gender discrimination is total bullshit, and all of the arguements supporting it stand on grounds not valid in an ethical debate.
Or something to that affect.
