Wejo, I will give you what you want.
"That's so progressive" is what a rebuffed conservative guy says to belittle the girl. It doesn't have to make sense as long as the guy isn't planning to think about it.
Also, the real traditional value is forgiveness (or maybe even reluctant acceptance), not fidelity.
Call me a traditionalist, but if I guy made unwanted sexual advances on one of my relatives, he'd have some 'splaining to do. (I'd probably also tell his wife, because I'm an a**hole, as evidenced by my participation in this forum.)

Same relative said guys say the same thing to her when she goes on a few dates and they want to sleep with her and she says she's not interested. They say she's "really progressive."
Got a laugh that they called her a progressive for what are deemed "conservative" or "traditional" values.
But if the majority is sleeping around, is it progressive not to?

How progressive of you.
Exactly.

I didn't think it belonged in tbe category. With so many fabulous performances happening now , this is the topuc you choose to post about.
really..
Call her a co-ck teazer. They loves the attention, then turn self righteous when its time to get busy.
happy now wejo. posters are name calling your lovely cousin.
how to bring about more unwarrented attention, way to go wejo.
You seem pretty interested in your cousin's sex life. Unfortunately, it seems like the rest of us aren't.
To answer your question: There's a wild notion that maybe your cousin isn't attracted to the people she's dating, or the married dude who uncomfortably hit on her.

State maps like this don't tell even half the story. I want this broken down by 1. County and 2. Race.
Weldon: Here's an attempt to up the relevant-reply rate, with the caveat that I don't like generalizations and labels (hence the quote marks below).
There are definitely ways in which "progressives" on average display more "traditional values": teen birth rate, out-of-wedlock birth rate, high school graduation rate, divorce rate, two-parent households, reading to children instead of plopping them in front of screens, etc. You could even argue that self-care (through regular exercise, not smoking, not getting fat and having a good diet) is a conservative project in that you're taking responsibility for your health rather than ignoring it and, for lower-income folks, eventually increasing use of publicly funded care.
Most of the above practices are within everyone's reach, regardless of income.
Contraception and sex ed in progressive states explain in part their lower teen pregnancy rates. It's not about lack of sex.

Some people are bored with their significant other. I would not be surprised if traditional marriage vows become a thing of the past in 50 years.
Look at how much marriage has changed in the last 35 years. Divorces are skyrocketing. I actually was in line at the express checkout in the super market and the 20+ y.o. girl in front of me said on her phone "I don't know, maybe I'll marry him and see what happens, who knows. What's the worst, right? I try it for 3 or 4 years, and we will see. I still don't know, though, y'know?"
Look, tinder is invaded by married men looking for some strange.
the lyrics to 'du hast' covers this well
if you dont understand german, google the translation

Two different things to me. The first use of "progressive" makes no sense as that is what most would consider a traditional value.
The second is a little more confusing. Is progressive now that a woman holds out on sex after the third date because giving it up on a third date has been the "tradition"?
BTW, who set the number of dates that it becomes expected to have sex? Or perhaps it is just the emergent market.
Wejo,
I don't know what you are hoping to get from this thread or even if what I'm about to say is even along the lines of what you are somehow thinking, but here goes.
1) The whole "traditional" values thing is a bunch of crap. We need look no further than so-called Christians and conservatives who cheat on their spouses with regularity and know that it is crap. Righteous Democrats do this too. Unfortunately, for little kids we have a President with 5 children from three different women who has been accused of groping scores of other women and using bad language frequently along with pure fantasy thinking. So, no role model there. That's a shame. Trump supporters will say he wasn't voted for to be a role model, but that's just convenient. To be an effective president, you shouldn't be an a$$. He is one.
2) I'd like to know what exactly defines traditional values anyway. I know a LOT of very liberal Democrats who are Christians and go nuts of Christmas. There's a weatherman here in our town who is out of the closet and has a family with another man to whom he is married, and he is a professed "man of faith" as is his husband. I would say his values are certainly traditional.
3) Finally, why rip on being "progressive"? Things were not better in earlier times. Providing an atmosphere of dignity and respect for all races and legal preferences is beneficial to all. Advancing our thinking out of the 50s, out of the 60s, out of the 70s and evolving with time is the way it should be.

I figured people would find the word "progressive" used in this sense to be interesting so I started a thread. Wasn't trying to make a political statement at all. The out of wedlock birth rates in some of the "conservative" states are shocking.
Pati- I'm not sure what you are saying. I'm fine with people saying whatever about an unnamed relative who I gave no details about.
