"My experience of sex education completely fits into the into the description of “lack thereof” the typical American healthcare/educational system. I do not actually remember having any formal addressing of sex. There was the biological description of how pregnancy and sex organs work in 9th grade health class. Culturally, I did grow up around aunts and uncles who participated in Valenti’s description of abstinence only being a measure of a “good girl”. As learned from the readings, the only way to actually be seen as the expected “good girl”, you must have your virginity. The popular moment, labeled by Valenti as “the virginity movement”, one labeled to be popular with conservatives and evangelical Christians. Growing up with the pressure of catholicism, I can relate heavily to the writings and discussions Valenti’s descriptions of the culture surrounding the concept of being a virgin. Also, the mention of students being equally as likely to still have sex even with abstinence-only education, but claiming abstinence in order to please the adults is something very relatable to my own personal experience with sex education.
Angela Davis’ description of reproductive rights is “the campaign for birth control in the nineteenth century and beyond focused primarily on the right for women to not have children, which left out the needs and desires of women of color informed by histories of genocide, sterilization, and racial injustice.” Davis’ addressment of how the reproductive right developments from the nineteenth century excluded women of color is a necessary addition to the definition. Without the acknowledgement of the exclusion and struggles that came with the reproductive rights movement for women of color, it is willful ignorance of the work people put in. Now, after various courses in women’s movements, minority history, etc. I understand that Angela Davis’ description is a great way to describe reproductive rights and also acknowledging the common discrepancies that usually happen in general education about reproductive rights"
