We've had the womans movement. We have the freedom to do what we choose. But do we really?

We still are stuck between the slut or virgin stereotype. We have to completly overanalyze our moves so that we aren't thought as improper not even so much by the male species but the female species especially.

My friend Erin has been in love with this Tom guy forever. They went on their first date Wednesday and I hate to even write this because I know everyone will assume that she's a slut and she's not, and they went on their second date on Saturday and she slept with him. I feel icked out by the whole situation. I hate to be so conservative but I really feel that she has lost any chance to have a real relationship with this guy. Then today she's freaking because she forgot that she left condoms out in her room(she lives at home and family is away) because Oh yes she and him hooked up again last night. I know that there are those relationships that come out of one night stands though I actually think they are an urban legend. It's funny because when for their first date he brought her flowers and took her to a fancy restaurant I had that nagging feeling that he only wanted one thing. God do I sound like my mother next thing I know I'll be saying why would he buy the cow when he can have the milk for free. I know I shouldn't talk because I don't play by the "rules" either. Why does sex have to complicate things so much? Jessica who let's just say doesn't have the highest thoughts about Erin since they are fighting was repulsed by the whole situation. I had to remind Miss Iaminarelationshipfortenmonthesandforgetwhatitsliketobesingle that one of the guys she was seeing last summer she went down on, on the first date! Hmmmm. Let's just say I waited just over two weeks with the Nick situation and things still turned very sour and only became about that. I jokingly said to Jeremy just when we were in the friends stage that I was going to wait three weeks with a new relationship. Last Thursday was the three week point and though I'd like to fulfill my rule I also am very hesitant because it really changes a relationship as much as you say it won't.
