Unseemly interest by fathers in their daughters' "purity" has always struck me as having icky incestuous undertones.
Oh, definitely. Purity Ball = years of therapy. Or, as someone said on another board, that's where strippers come from.
She growls?! You made her so she growls?!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It seems to me you've talked about your family's general build, but I can't remember if you were talking about booty scarcity or abundance.
It's not the fullest trunk, but it has its share of junk. There's an upper limit to the waist/hip ratio a skirt that short can cover politely. It would still be polite on me, but I'd have a limited range of motion.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Well, back in the day (and in some places still) women were literally property and their value was hymen-based. Her virtue was her family's virtue -- it wasn't 'hers' to give away. It really WAS "it's mine and you can't have it unless I say so" on the part of Fathers.
When you leave out the property rights it just comes off as dirty.
Slavery or pervy really seem to be the only options when Daddy is overly interested in such things.

I find when you put them in, it's still dirty. It's a hymen, after all.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Seriously.
And I just realized that the paper I've been more or less blowing off is 60% of the grade for that class. Due Monday. Argh.

Well, at least with the property rights he didn't give so much of an impression of wanting to, you know, do stuff to it. He just owned it and needed to maintain his investment.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I have motivation! Of course, it's motivation to go home and go back to sleep, but still...

What is even happening?
It's not the fullest trunk, but it has its share of junk.I love this. I'd tag it, but these days, mine might be the fullest trunk.
Slavery or pervy really seem to be the only options when Daddy is overly interested in such things.I think that's overstating the case, although I'd have rather died than gone to one of those dances.
Some families work themselves out that the parents feel not only are their children their responsibility, but that it actually is within their ability (beyond rules, role-modeling and other forms of influence) to ensure their children's good behavior. The dance strikes me as odd, too. As far as I know, I don't know anyone who would participate, but I can imagine knowing well meaning people who are into neither the property nor incestous angles of it, participating in such a thing.
