It's just that radical feminists and I disagree on which standard this should be. :)
Yup! I've often said that feminists were right in fighting back against the double standard of women's and men's sexuality, but that instead of trying to hold men to the same higher standard as women, they decided to hold women to the same low standard as men, which was the opposite of what they should have done, alas.
My family was really good about the lack of difference as well--my guy cousins were treated the same as my girl cousins and my sister and I. It wasn't until I was a teenager and started interacting with a wider variety of people that I noticed the difference. But it's definitely true--you'd be positively shocked at all the crazy books out there, and then there's that whole purity ball thing which freaks me out.
