The Purity Myth.

If you’re a female this should concern and frighten you in a big way.

I love this. I’m really sick of hearing people shaming girls for being “impure”. Accepting and being open (or not open) about yourself sexually is nothing to be ashamed of and should never be looked at that way, especially when it comes to females. Granted, I agree that sex shouldn’t be a part of anyone’s life when they’re in a general age range because in my opinion, it should come with a certain maturity level. But the point is, this whole purity complex needs to stop being hammered into girls’ heads the minute they come out of the womb. The world is naturally sexual; that shouldn’t have to change. But this is a media-ruled society, and it really lies in the media to stop encouraging ignorance as if it’s something to be proud of and start recognizing women for more than their bodies.

This is terrifying and amazing. It blows my mind that men seem to be the loudest voices condemning feminism and promoting “purity”. That should really sound an alarm for people. 

Wow. Hahahaha. No. Please everyone watch this. I really think I need to somehow get this and watch it.

Dude! I loved this book, definitely gonna check out the film.

I found a working .pdf version of the book here: http://search.4shared.com/postDownload/eC09oV5R/The_Purity_Myth.html :)
