I don't get the topic at all. Why is this even up for discussion? I understand that we're not judging but simply writing about it. My understanding is that the the simple act of discussing this presupposes that
0. there is some cultural significance about sex (there isn't folks, it's a genetic and biological coding in all animals.
1. there is something immoral about sex between "unmarried" people.
2. That a "marriage" which is a "go around th fire", "sign the papers", "feed the neighbours" ritual somehow makes it ok to have sex.
3. That there is one group of people who can deem themselves responsible and empowered to judge and / or rule on who can have sex with whom and when.
4. #3 above, if you extend that thinking, will lead to some rishimuni, or other religious / political leader being empowered to rule on such matters
5. #4 above will almost certainly mean that the lot of women will become one of second class citizens. All the hoo hah about rape ? You can forget about it. Men will call the shots.
If the women still insist on supporting such nonsense, I don't want to see them writing about the horrors of rape. How can you separate the two? If you strip it down to the basics, they are both about someone deciding when you can have sex and with whom.
By all means write and win your vouchers. Lose the battle for gender fairness.
Bye all - I am leaving this post be. ( Do I detect a collective sigh of relief? )
