Wait Wear…inspiring oral one shirt at a time


I guess the abstinence-promoting clothing company Wait Wear didn’t hear the latest news about virginity pledges.

So really, shouldn’t that pink shirt say “Virginity Lane: Enter when married; until then take the back road”?

If a woman (of whatever age) has made her own unpressured decision that she wants to wait until marriage to become sexually active, a shirt like this could be a light-hearted of telling Casanovas not to waste their time. It could be a funny thing to wear to a place that you expect to be a meat market.

Someone suggested once that people at nightclubs should wear buttons stating their reason for coming to the nightclub. That way the person with the "I'm here to hook up" button won't waste the time of the person with the "I'm here to see the band" button.

grrrr ... this shit is so fucking heterosexist its not funny.

So, a) I shouldn't have sex until I'm married, b) but I'm not allowed to get married to the woman I love, so I can't have sex, and c) only penile intercourse counts as sex, so I'm still a fucking virgin anyway.

THIS is why this whole campaign bloody well stinks! The same people supporting the above programs are the same ones that would deny me my right to marry the person I love.

But not only that, but as we have seen that abstinence programs actually increase the frequency of unsafe oral or anal sex, which these young adults feel comfortable doing because it "isn't really sex". That pretty much means they are saying that nothing I do with my girlfriend constitutes having sex or making love.

Yay. Don't I feel included in society.

Ha! They have underwear too!

"Virginity Lane"? Is that Nathan's daughter?

An overarching goal of being creative is to generate urban resilience and build overall urban capacity. It is not about being fanciful. Resilience is the capacity to absorb change, ruptures and shocks and to be supple enough to adjust. Resilience is strong adaptability.

It means a city has the right attributes of inventiveness and openness to bounce back if its industrial base has been eroded or a new competitor, say India or China, has taken its markets. This requires the city to evolve a spirit of expectation, of being alert to change and of not assuming given advantages are timeless.

This helps the city avoid being downcast, a psychological frame of mind not attuned to understanding and then grappling with change. Urban shocks can leave cities depressed just as they can individuals. Lifting a city out of this state is difficult as it needs to nurture itself back its self-confidence. One area to develop resilience is the learning infrastructure, which should be fashioned to combine the teaching of focused disciplines, such as engineering or crime prevention, with the ability to see the core of disciplines and then across and beyond them.
