Women should be afraid of how that will translate into policy
Purity balls themselves are kind of disturbing. Engaging in sexual activity should be a personal choice. It is societies responsibility to teach children the possible outcomes of sexual activity so they can make an informed decisions. Celebrating not engaging in sexual activity makes children think that these activities are bad and should be avoided.
They don't want children to be educated about sexual activity because that usually is correlated with effective family planning, which means fewer children, which means women having more time for personal empowerment rather than simply being vessels for childbirth, which again means fewer children. Fewer children means fewer minds to convert to the religion that motivates the whole exercise. Many 'successful' religions aggressively propagate themselves, even if it's at the expense of the well-being of the believers themselves.
But they need more babies to propogate Christianity; The popular belief that a celestial Jewish baby who is also his own father, born from a virgin mother, died for three days so that he could ascend to heaven on a cloud and then make you live forever only if you symbolically eat his flesh, drink his blood and telepathically tell him you accept him as your lord & master so he can remove an evil force from your spiritual being that is present in all humanity because an immoral woman made from a man's rib was hoodwinked by a talking reptile possessed by an malicious angel to secretly eat forbidden fruit from a magical tree.
Not to mention, reduced cheap labor. Particularly reduced
slaveprison labor.That, plus these scumbags are all about foisting their hangups on the rest of us.
Yeah and promising your sexual “purity” to your parent (the person statistically most likely to molest you at that age) is so disturbing on its own.
Seriously. I don't want to know if my daughter is having sex with someone as long as she's safe about it.
She likes girls, so at least pregnancy is not likely.
It's half that outcome and half pulling back the rubber band, hoping it stays here when you let go. It doesn't, and instead you have tons of early pregnancy from 18 year olds or younger who didn't understand how to practice safe sex but just knew it was supposed to be great enough to have a ball about not doing until you find the right person.
Oh hey, conservatives are being weird about controlling their daughter's sex organs again. How surprising!
Literally everything about Mike Johnson is disturbing, starting with the fact that his penis sticks out of his collar.
1984The Handmaid's Tale was not meant to be an instruction manual.Don't let facists near your children .
He has his son monitor his porn use. Dude said it proudly too. Absolute brain worms
Looking for a date, no doubt.
@dantheclamman That little post isn't particularly deep, or convincing.
It's just parroting the currently fashionable stuff from the "left intellectual" press.
What's REALLY disturbing about that shit, is:
* it mixes sexual/romance relationship with the relationship between parent & young-child, and *that is vile, underhanded, dishonest, and multidimensionally-improper*.
* it tries to disable thinking, culturally, displacing it with social-pressure
( which both left & right use, btw...
The most comical globally-visible example of that was the mass herd-protests after Trump was elected.
Masses of leftists heaped together to protest .. Trump being active president.
And Universe *wouldn't obey* this mass herd-assertion!!
IMPOSSIBLE!!
( incredulity is normal, among the social-process-obedient )
Eventually, Naomi Klein told them "saying no isn't enough", and they stopped.
But .. they really believed that Universe would stop, drop, & roll, to obey their social-assertion of their herd??
Yes, they did.
THAT is frightening.
the right's conforming/enforcing centrism is culturally-different from the left's belonging-herd centrism, but both displace intelligence, with strategic/planet-scale lethal consequences, when one holds to the long view )
* it holds that one's cultural-habit is better a decider than is intelligence ( both left & right do this, and the degree of competent-education required to break that from a population is well-beyond what our "education" has allowed/tolerated, to be )
* it holds that the rest of the world ought obey its cultural-delusion instead of considered-thinking, which means that considered-thinking has already been eradicated from within that culture
etc.
There are plenty of points, and that little item, linked-to, missed/ignored most of 'em...

TLDR:
Feel free to mute me, so you never see anything I say ever again...
Don't mind if I do!
See kids, this is what happens when you want to sound smart but you're actually a dumbass
Masses of leftists heaped together to protest … Trump being active president.
Go on... tell us what happened on January 6th, 2020.
@FlyingSquid What has Jan 6th's crimes got to do with Trump remaining president in-spite-of massed left protest against the fact of his having been elected??
Nothing.
I'm no apologist for the Trump cult.
I'm *also* no apologist for any other cult, left or right.
The mass-protests of the left, against Trump, were supposed to produce .. obedience-to-collective-assertion?
Mobarchy, then?
Both kinds of delusion are dangerous.
Never grant either rule of entire-countries.

What the hell did I just attempt to make sense of?
Is this the TimeCube guy?
Shit I wish, that guy was kinda funny.
No is not enough was a good book though.
Are you a bot? Because that was a rambling word-salad with no discernible point.
@Echinoderm Really?
You hit the original post's "insight",
then you read mine,
and that is your conclusion?Then mute me.
I'm muting you now.
Pretentious gobbledygook horseshit.
I chose to believe it's a but using Musk's LLM.
Which does make for a fun game:
Grok bot or Crack pot?
