That's factually incorrect.
Liberal attitudes to sexual education actually decrease STD spread, teenager pregnancy (and thus abortion) and actually increase the average age at which people have sex.
Whereas 'traditional' right-leaning approaches to sexual education (aka abstinence only education) does the exact opposite.
This general trend can be seen be contrasting continental Europe with the states. Continental Europe is significantly more liberal and tolerant than the USA, yet the USA has terrible problems with teenage pregnancy and STD spread.
Yet some Americans think they can take the high ground because at least they don't have an accepting attitude towards such things as same-sex relationships or casual sex. It's rank hypocrisy that should have died out with the Victorians. -

Look at our divorce rates, our kids having sex, where 14 is now actually more common, where PP workers try to steer kids into their way of thinking, and where some don't blink when a nurse gets an abortion on camera and acts like it's no big thing. The reason we NEED so much sex ed is because hookups are now considered fine and normal. Hate to tell you, but things aren't so grand marriage-wise in other countries, either.

Yes, look at those statistics.
Actually look
at that.
Look at which regions are have the worst statistics in these areas. Look at what policies and cultural changes might be responsible.
You may surprise yourself. They're worse in areas where sexual puritanism is allowed to infect teaching and state policy. -

Divorce rates went up as divorce became legal and easy.
People didn't used to get divorced as much because they either separated or lived in unhappy marriages. That we now have a more honest and tolerant approach to the end of relationships is a good thing, not a bad thing.
The US has more of a lot of things because we're a larger country.
All this tells me is that you don't understand how statistics work. -

You are confusing your unwilingless to show your naked body to others with need for everyone to hide their bodies. you not wanting to show your body is fine - you can hide it all you want. you have no business telling others to hide it, however.
Resistance is impolite, Friendship is mandatory. -

But she didn't really stop aging. Once she take of the make up (hiding her pours, wrinkles etc) & removed the false teeth (to hide her adult ones), she pretty much looked her real age. Also, she was binding her breasts, so she did go through puberty.
The claim that "without her makeup, false teeth, & chest binding, she looked much older" was
definitely
Hollywood special effects at work, because the
actress
who
played
Esther was a little younger than age 12 at the time that the movie
finished filming
.
IF I want your opinion, I'll GIVE it to you. -

Yes, there would be a lot wrong with it if it was done deliberately with no regard for privacy. If you can't see the extreme inappropriateness of someone like Esther being treated with such disrespect by a male adult, you're a pitiful creature.

She's like a dwarf-version of Danielle Harris, who played teens until her 30s, fairly convincingly.
Also, look at this clip from the movie Freaks with Harry Earles as Hans.
Or do a Google Image search. -

Aware this is an old thread, but I am assuming this hasn't been posted. Brings another perspective to things.
