Sex and class
The wealthy, high-society mother of a 17-year-old girl was
concerned that her daughter was having sex. Worried the girl might
become pregnant, and adversely impact the family's status, she
consulted the family doctor.
The doctor told her that teenagers today were very willful, and any
attempt to stop the girl would probably result in rebellion. He
then told her to arrange for her daughter to be put on birth
control and, until then, talk to her and give her a box of condoms.
Later that evening, as her daughter was preparing for a date, the
woman told her about the situation and handed her a box of condoms.
The girl started to laugh and reached over to hug her mother
saying, "Oh Mom! You don't have to worry about that! I'mdating a
woman!"
