When I was a teenage/early-20-something girl, stories like the ones Meat Loaf tells in Bat Out Of Hell and Paradise By The Dashboard Light often happened in real life - girls were taught that "boys only want one thing", and that it was their duty to refuse, no matter how persuasive the young man's arguments were, so they could eventually get married in a proper virgin's white gown and veil, to a nice boy. People really used to believe those things, and behave in those ways, fifty years ago. I mean, society is pretty fucked up about sex now, but it's a whole lot better than it was.
