YouTube - Boys Are Like Microwaves (Abstinence-Only Lesson #4)

What point are the makers of this video trying to make?

  1. First of all, I loved this video! I thought it was funny, but it also did a really good job of showing how rediculous some of the abstinence-only arguments are. Referring to girls as crock-pots and boys as microwaves as a comparision to how they "heat up" doesn't seem very productive or logical. They are basically saying that the things that abstinence only educators are saying to the students are rediculous and formed off of not very solid ideals (such as how different genders carry their books).

  3. I as well really enjoyed this video. It did a great job of protraying the gender sterotypes for girl. Like the way we carry our books mean we want boy the look at our breast and its our job to not cause men to heat up. Its funny how when it come to sexuality, women are suppose to control theirs and mens and when I man cannot control himself it is the womans fault not the mans.
