A hypothetical

May 15, 2007 17:34

Here is a hypothetical question.  In the following dialogue pretend you are the mother and your child is the daughter.

Mother: Hey daughter, do you want to sit down and watch this movie with me?
12 year old girl:  What is it? 
Mother: It is a rated R film about gay cowboys who cheat on their wives.
12 year old girl: Why is it rated R?
Mother: Mild violence, language, and a sex scene.
12 year old girl: actually I think Id rather go chat with my friends.  I don't like those kind of movies.
Mother: What kind of movies?  Movies with gay cowboys?  You are not a homophobe are you?
12 year old girl: Actually, I just feel uncomfortable around other people having sex...even when it is on television.

Now if you were the mother what would you say to this

A. Oh I see.  Thanks for being honest...have fun chatting with your friends.
B. Are you sexually repressed or something?  Maybe we should go to a psychologist.
C. Clearly you are homophobic...tomorrow I drop you off at foster care.

attention whore, homosexuality, sex
