There was a post on my friends face book : A Mormon Woman's Choice - Modern Love www.nytimes.com A single 35-year-old virgin makes a visit to Planned Parenthood...
Being a Mormon raised woman I was intrigued. Don't get me wrong, I am as inactive as they come. I do not and did not follow all of the rules desired in order to be a true Mormon since I was like 17 and yet I still claim it as my religion as it is difficult to turn your back on what you were raised to believe even when you have some issues with it; however, I feel this woman has some other choices than the ones she made.
Yes she was true -mostly- to who she was, but is that really the best course of action? I didn't really see her story having a solution to it's main problem, and a wrap up of what she will do now?
If this story was in the NY Times - why did it read as if she wrote it? was it supposed to be one of those write in stories they run from time to time to raise readership? If so she needs some skills added to her writing background. The concept of the deliema was intriging and somewhat compelling given my background, but couldn't there be other options? I have a 26 year-old virgin friend in a similar boat, but she is able to date and there are single Mormon men. Maybe this woman just needed to move to a more highly Mormon populated area?!! A place with a singles ward. Or maybe she should change religions or just suck it up. She may not see a problem with herself; however, without a picture or actually meeting her I can't vouch for that attestment and usually it never dawns on a person what their real problems are unless they are pointed out by someone else.
What do you think. Take a look at the article and leave a post.
