And the Feminist-Mom-Award goes to...

My mom is probably like the best mom out there.

Today she casually asked if I was having sex.

See, most parents would ask that because:
1) they are shaming their kids,
2) to make sure their kids aren't,
and 3) to have control over their kids.

My mom asked because:
1) she wanted to make sure I know that just one form of birth control is not enough, but that both the pill AND a condom should be used,
2) that medical exams are always a good idea, even without prior sexual history,
3) she was just curious since I'm an adult, dating an adult.

Ha, well - it took me a few moments to not shame-defense that conversation. *Awkward* - but not really. She's great.
