The part of your post which I quoted is offensive, chauvinistic, and misogynist--moreso on a second reading.

I didn't know abstinence was so offensive. Imagine that.

I don't believe you are dense enough to have actually interpreted my words that way. But just in case, let me be as clear as I can: your husband's behavior, and his apparent belief that girls are or should be responsible for the behavior of boys, was offensive. Just as I should take responsibility for teaching my daughters proper morals, so should the parents of boys be responsible for teaching their children proper morals. To assert that it is up to my daughters to control those boys (who are likely bigger and stronger than my girls) and their sexual advances toward my girls--with no similar requirements made of the boys--is offensive. To shout such misogyny at a stranger in a WalMart is offensive. To defend such chauvinistic behavior is offensive.

To research, develop, and promote a vaccine that has the potential to help thousands of people is NOT offensive.

Clearer now?
