The Purity Movement

[Nope]

Now I do not agree with all the purity movement but, there are good things about it.

Lots of Christians do not agree with the purity movement, thankfully. It causes a lot of harm. Elizabeth Smart has spoken out about harmful the movement's idea of sexual purity was to her after she was kidnapped and raped.

The dehumanization that purity culture inflicts was described by Smart in her speech when she talked about the sex education:

"I had a teacher who was talking about abstinence, she said, 'Imagine you're a stick of gum and when you engage in sex, that's like getting chewed, and if you do that lots of times, you're going to become an old piece of gum, and who's going to want you after that?"

Smart says those words rang in her memory. She felt ruined.
