The modesty and purity movement is both fascinating and frightening.<\/p>\n

When people start talking about purity, someone must die. The cry for cleansing conjures up suggestions of genocide. It reminds me of Rwanda.<\/p>\n

Read Ren\u00e9 Girard<\/a>.\u00a0Religion was necessary in the development of human evolution to control violence by imputing guilt onto the scapegoat. I suggest this exposes the failure of religion because we continue to create, despise and ignore our victims at an ever-increasing rate.<\/p>\n

Thabiti Anyabwile\u2019s blog is \u201cPure Church\u201d and his tagline is \u201ca desire for an increasingly pure church\u201d. Scary. His popular post at the Gospel Coalition blog network titled, \u201cThe Importance of Your Gag Reflex When Discussing Homosexuality and Gay Marriage\u201d<\/a> is horrifying but important because it betrays a very real hatred of homosexuals. Thank God he said it because now we know it\u2019s real. It bears a genocidal nuance because it\u2019s a small step to calling them \u201ccockroaches\u201d to be cleansed from society.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the same with the virginity, purity and modesty movement. The demand for girls to be pure prepares the way for girls to become victims. Our sacrifices. I find the renewed story of Teresa Scanlan<\/a>,\u00a0Miss America of\u00a02011, sad but telling. She was homeschooled and the homeschooling community was proud\u2026 until the slut-shaming began and some started to criticize her because she wore a bikini, even to the point of questioning the genuineness of her Christian faith. She was an adored virgin until she became a despised slut. Those seem to be the only two options. Unless you\u2019re a wife. But that\u2019s a whole other issue.<\/p>\n

The pressure women are under, especially young women and girls, is astounding. Is it not true that on the one hand they\u2019re pressured to be pure virgins, but then on the other hand they\u2019re pressured to be promiscuous? Does it all circulate around their sexuality? Their vaginas? Is it all about whether or not they\u2019ve been penetrated? Had? Is the female still a supplement to the male, complimentary, a helper? Something to fulfill the male? Like an accessory? An add-on? \u201cYou complete me\u201d?<\/p>\n

The purity and modesty movement objectifies the woman for the man\u2019s pleasure\u2026 whether it\u2019s to use the slut now or save the virgin for later.<\/p>\n

The daughter in this cartoon, about the same age as my daughter, has a good mom. They won\u2019t be just another tool in the man\u2019s shed.<\/p>\n

My daughter Casile, an artist<\/a>, sums it up well:<\/p>\n

\u201cThis stuff makes me so angry I can\u2019t even!\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
