Tim Tebow and the Case for Minding Your Own Sex Life

I never thought I'd blog about Tim Tebow. But this crossed over into I Need To Make A Statement Territory.
Tim Tebow.

Prior to now, every time I have heard a story about him in the media, I've pretty much tuned out. I am just not interested in someone who continues to drink the Evangelical Holier-Than-Thou Christian Kool-Aid. That was me prior to 2007 when I got a clue. I'm still a Christian, but not the judgy asshole type.

But this new story about how he and Miss Universe have parted ways because she wanted to have premarital sex and he didn't has crossed into Hmm I Need To Make A Statement About That territory.

Why?

It's a classic case of sexism and misogyny with a side of slut-shaming and virgin-shaming.

Apparently wanting to be abstinent till marriage is not very manly. That's some sexist bullshit right there.

And people are saying she's crazy for missing out on a good man. She should have just sucked it up and done without sex. That's some rampant slut-shaming.

I love when people give themselves the authority to comment on other people's perfectly legal and acceptable sexual choices. What the actual fuck? Both of their decisions are valid.

She wants the cock. He wants to be faithful. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH EITHER OF THESE CHOICES. I applaud them for figuring out that they are not compatible and moving on with their lives.

As I have said a zillion times, if you feel the need to analyze what's going on in someone else's bedroom, you don't have enough action in your own.

  1. couldn't agree more!! I'll have to use your quote about 'if you feel the need to analyze what's going on in someone else's bedroom, you don't have enough action in your own.' Love it. :)

    1. I think a good number of people would do well to tuck that quote up their sleeves for future use ;)

  2. One comment on this. Your post says Teebow is being faithful. I don't think he is. He's being selfish. Woman who withhold sex are considered prudish. A man withholding sex is considered faithful? Something is wrong with using the word faithful in this description of Tim.

    1. He's being faithful to his religious beliefs. I think it's safe to assume anyone who entered into a relationship with him would know that he intends to stay abstinent until marriage. He has made a commitment to that and anyone who dates him should respect it, in my opinion. He wasn't withholding sex because it wasn't on the table in the first place. He would only be withholding it if they had agreed to have sex, and they had not.
