Hypocrisy From The 'No Slut Shaming' Crowd

[Faith Presses On]

As a teenager, I'm used to facing peer pressure. Everything from T.V. and magazines to parents and teachers tell me how to live and act. Don't get me wrong, many of those influences are positive and uplifting, but a new pressure has completely blindsided my friends and me. This new pressure, namely liberal feminists, accuse me and other teenage girls who wear purity rings and pledge to save sex for marriage, of valuing our virginity too much. Umm, what?

Tracy Clark-Flory wrote an article, The Virginity Fetish, that compares young women like me who believe in saving sex until marriage, to Natalie Dylan, a young woman who sold her virginity online to the highest bidder. Clark-Flory claims that young women saving their virginity for marriage "auction off [their] virginity to the person with the biggest ring."

The person who compares love and self respect to prostitution obviously doesn't understand what a purity ring, or even virginity in general, represents. As a teenage girl, I can not disagree strongly enough with this portrayal of young women who have committed to preserve their virginity until marriage as greedy, unscrupulous women seeking to purchase financial security at the price of their own bodies. The irony that these are the same women who accuse conservatives of waging a war on women is not lost to me.

Satan has waged a very effective war on genuine love, but Jesus is victor.

The sluts lose in this game of life and death. You can be sure of that..

[IronJack]

Just like with homos, sluts will project their own inadequacies onto their opposites. So it's not sick to take on the football team; it's wrong to remain a virgin. It's not perverted to let another man bunghole you; it's puritanical to have heterosexual sex.

Up is down. Strong is weak. Right is wrong. And slavery is freedom.

People were all worried when school sex-ed was “if it feels good, do it”

Today it has become “You are strange and stupid for not doing it”

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

Those who want kids to have sex generally want to have sex with kids.

Spot on. It’s grooming all the way.

[boatbums]

Many kudos to this young woman and her peers who value their God-given bodies and who honor the chastity HE expects of ALL unmarried women AND men. It is a sign - especially these days - of a solid and dignified character and those who lack it will always try to drag them down to their level.

Oh yes, Jesus is victor. He IS love.
Jesus is in Heaven and Satan, once Lucifer, the light bearer, is in hell.

As a Catholic I was told that our bodies were temples of God.
He gave us each an eternal soul, immortality. Imagine that.
We are to take good care of our bodies because they ARE temples of God.

i reject the premise. what punk guy is offering rings to girls today for their virginity? most don’t have to offer anything when it’s being given away for free.

teaching women that their virginity is something to be casually tossed away, it’s a damn shame. no value placed on it. not a wonder why so many gals have regrets.

[Secret Agent Man]

keep looking up, Jesus is coming back any day. take comfort in that fact when you see the whole world turning to sodom.

[Secret Agent Man]

not yet he’s not. he’s loose running around like a lion devouring anyone he can as he knows his time is short.

The Bible tells us that our bodies are the temple of the holy spirit and that we should not defile them.

It also tells us that fornication does defile them.
