techn0ir is entitled to hold their belief, and I am entitled to challenge it with rhetorics when I find said belief to be false. This is why arguments happen, Internet or otherwise. Of course no one can strip him/her of the right to express the opinion, the most we can do is say, "Hey, we think you're wrong and here's why."

Now, as to the issue of control, while what I ultimately wish for is equal say in the matter for both parties, I personally think that basing everything on personality is a slightly idealistic way of looking at things, and so is disregarding gender. There is some truth to the reality of the prevalence of traditional gender roles even in present day's society, and the conventions those roles establish put women in a very disadvantaged position when it comes to making these choices. Yes, we do teach our daughters to say no and respect their bodies, but exactly how much of that has to go against the long-ingrained mindset of the submissive female, we do not know.

I personally think that when it comes to safe sex, at least, both parties should be as aware as they can be, and if any one side is expected to take a bigger responsibility, already some element of abuse has entered into the equation. As the subjects of today's discussion are teenagers, I have to say again that young girls definitely have less control in most situations (yes, yes, that "usually" thing again). To impose adult standards onto adolescent relationships, and thinking that people that young always understand enough to respect the wishes of the other partner, that's highly unrealistic.
