What is Purity Culture?
Women are specifically attacked, purity culture results in misogyny
-
"Advocates of extreme abstinence advise women to be appropriately submissive, not pursue leadership roles and not speak out too much in mixed company." (Ingersoll)
Women are considered by the Evangelical church as sexually vulnerable and docile while men are considered naturally sexually aggressive and voracious
Women are violating nature by acting on sexual desire in any way. Female sexuality is considered profoundly volatile by the Evangelical church.
-
Women naturally do experience sexual desire. The intersection of experiencing sexuality and being tod it is unnatural results in guilt
“these teachings led to guilt and shame as well as profound ignorance about sex and sexuality.” (Ingersoll)

-
“men and boys, who are seen as naturally sexually depraved (whereas women and girls are seen as naturally non-sexual) are given far more sexual leeway before marriage.” (Klein)
