Call T.I. taking his daughter for a 'virginity test' what it really is

Earlier this month, rapper T.I. told the hosts of the"Ladies Like Us" podcast that his idea of"sex education" goes far beyond having the"sex talk" with his 18-year-old-college freshman daughter.

If compelling one's teen daughter to sign a HIPAA waiver so that he can have access to the results of a gynecological exam checking her hymen is not abuse disguised as love, I'm not sure what it is. This was, of course, not only a controlling and delusional approach, but it rested on the notion that my worth was rooted in my"virginity." That my body wasn't my own.

And even T.I., who might truly consider himself to be nothing less than a loving, doting father, acknowledged this on the podcast."So then they come and say, 'Well, I just want you to know that there are other ways besides sex that the hymen can be broken, like bike riding, athletics, horseback riding, and just other forms of athletic physical activity,'" he said.

A father dressing his baby in an"I'm never allowed to date... ever" onesie isn't a declaration of paternal ownership and the erosion of bodily autonomy. It's just a proud father safeguarding his child.
