They said it is immoral because that is what they believe for themselves. They're not going to stop anyone else from having sex, everyone can do as they please.

Eh. I'm a millennial and grew up with a lot of conservative/religious kids. I can absolutely see them answering along these lines even though I know for a fact that they have casual sex, abortions, etc. Because they're moral hypocrites. Which isn't really an age thing.
You implied that men do not want to settle down because, and I quote, ''Even if you aren't the kind of woman that puts out easily, you suffer the consequences of other women's promiscuity because guys won't bother to wait anymore.'' And may I add also this gem: ''most guys aren't trying to settle down because they…
It's sad how you seem to believe that the only reason why a man would want to settle down with a woman is to have sex. Do you really think that sex is your only value? I genuinely feel bad for you.
(I think was the ellipses that threw me) I agree with you, and that is why I find the under 18 shenanigans troubling. There is a huge developmental difference between teenagers in the seven years that takes place. I don't know if I would call it immoral, but I personally don't think young teenagers should be having…
"Or maybe they had sex when they were teenagers, and regret it. Or maybe they just think teenagers are too immature. But no - it must be because they're BAD PEOPLE."
Oh it's absolutely a core part of the conservative mindset to view sex as immoral. It's just so bizarre to me, because I don't understand how someone can argue that consenting adults privately doing stuff with their bodies is in the same category as things like theft and murder. To me moral is 100% related to harm and…
I think a big elephant that keeps getting missed in these generational dissections is the Cold War and the nuclear threat. We talk about kids who grew up in a post-9/11 world as having grown up in a culture of fear, but we seem to forget that the Baby Boomers and Gen-X also grew up in a different sort of culture of…
I take personal issue with the "below 18" business because it could mean anything below 18. I do have moral issue with two thirteen years old having sex. I do not take issue with two sixteen year olds having sex. If I were a parent, I would approach each of those very differently.
"Even if you aren't the kind of woman that puts out easily, you suffer the consequences of other women's promiscuity because guys won't bother to wait anymore. If you won't do it some other woman will."
I'm not saying you're doing so here, but I hate when people act like the "slutty" men or women are wronging women who…
I'm always so confused when I hear people my age (ish) being homophobic. I guess I'm in a bubble of decency, but to me it just seems so... Out of fashion? Like, beyond being wrong, it's just not cool to do. It's like hearing an elderly person complain/joke/whatever about "the damn Catholics" or the Irish. How is that…
Yeah, and I kind of wonder what qualifies as casual. Like, does having sex on the first date but being interested in a relationship count as casual? Or do you have to intend from the start to never be in a committed relationship with that person?
I would love to know if the study found any regional differences in the responses. I'm a millennial from heathen New England and even though I went to a Catholic college I find these percentages hard to believe.
Were these millennials being asked these questions in front of their judgy parents or priests or something? Were the surveys performed at religious colleges or universities? As people were filing out of their place of worship?
Basically. I mean, I highly doubt 40% of Millennials are WAITING TILL MARRIAGE.
My take away from that is how fucked up what that judge did is.
White doesn't signify virginity though, it denotes first marriage. The fashion for white wedding gowns only gained the prominence that they have now due to Queen Victoria.
Food really makes up for a lot. Especially food that doesn't leave dishes to do.
This week I had to do something I never thought I would have to do. In my classroom, we are growing sea monsters. One of them died and we had a memorial service for it. Its name was Larry. It was not even a half inch long. It was very surreal having a service for Larry. We played John Legend for it because one of my…
