Like maybe I’m uniquely sensitive to this but when I was a teen I learned that having sex was worse than murder and if you got pregnant you were basically subhuman so I am not gonna put up with this shit

The coach who doubled as our sex ed teacher told us black people had an extra muscle in their legs, making them naturally more gifted athletes than white people. I was 13 years old in an all-white suburban school and remember thinking what unadulterated bullshit that was.
sex would immediately kill you, credit cards would instantly ruin your life, those definitely have left some lasting scars in terms of functioning in the actual society we have.
My parents claimed that they had to pay for a bag of groceries with a credit card when I was a baby and they were still trying to pay that off 20 years later.
I remember the implication was that having sex would lead to stds no less than one hundred percent of the time even if i wore a condom and also condoms were known to break all the time so better not do it just to be safe
my school was legally required during to teach us that there was no such thing as safe sex and we had to wait till marriage (no instruction on what happens after you get married of course)
I had the assistance of “being the ugliest teenager alive” as I was 300 pounds and had braces and headgear and hair that I didn’t understand but man I got imprinted with “sex is literally the worst thing you could do” real hard
Abstinence Only has done a lot of damage, as well as producing a godly number of kids who are astoundingly ignorant and misinformed about the human body.
It was worse and you will get an STD. If you deviate at all from cultural norms, you will get HIV and die.
We convinced the admin of our catholic HS (1985) that allowing the father to attend classes and extracurriculars but not the mother was discriminatory. But before that she was to be shunned.

It felt like that, anyhow.
