Purity culture claims to protect people—but what happens when “protection” becomes shame, fear, control, misogyny, victim-blaming, and a lifelong hatred of your own body?
In this episode of “_____ Is for Idiots,” Jason takes aim at the toxic belief system that compares human beings to chewed gum, teaches girls that they are responsible for men’s behavior, treats normal desire like a moral failure, and somehow expects years of sexual shame to disappear magically on your wedding night.
Your worth is not determined by your virginity, your sexual history, or whether some youth pastor named Chad approves of your clothing. Responsibility matters. Consent matters. Honesty, safety, boundaries, and bodily autonomy matter. Shame is not education—and control does not become holy just because someone attaches a Bible verse to it.
