BK went thru a catholic education. Can you imagine what kind of sex education he and his prep school buddies got? Sex outside marriage taught as dirty and sinful. Masturbation as also sinful. Female sexuality and the nitty-gritty details of conception and the truth about how various contraceptive methods work not taught. The facts about what STDs do to the human body. And most importantly, respect for women. But it's not just the Catholic church. It's also the puritanical Evangelicals, who fear that real and thorough sex education for children leads to promiscuity.
It just all seems so stupid, especially when kids can easily access every form of pornography on their computers.

(4,483 posts)but I think more to blame is the entitled rich boy only child who feels he is owed a seat on the SC because he followed the path he was supposed to follow. I think his disdain for women comes naturally to a guy, a jock, who has always had it his own way. I think he would have grown up a much better person if he'd attended a middle-class public high school where girls were present in class, not just as trophies for weekend parties, and where his exceptionality (<----sarcasm) was not pounded into his head day in day out.
