There's one podcast out there that I listen to primarily to keep a finger on the pulse of what folks on the progressive end of the political and religious realms are thinking (getting it straight from the horse's mouth rather than relying on what conservatives say the progressives think).
One thing that drives me nuts is when they claim that purity culture was all about protecting white female virtue (usually implying "from black boys/men"). All the True Love Waits talks I heard were simply about saving yourself for your spouse in a God-honoring marriage, and ethnicity was never even a thought.
Yeah, I obviously meant it tongue in cheek, but I’m also entirely serious. Purity culture told me not to be sexually immoral, and to put a rigid fence around that. I don’t think that was a bad thing.
Yeah. Were there forms and applications of it that went off the rails? Sure. But that doesn't mean the core concept was at fault. That's my frustration with that podcast's mischaracterization.
<<Purity Culture: Was it really that bad?>>

Yes, I def feel that.
