Everyone else on earth is as annoyed with “purity” as I am, right? The idea that there are two kinds of women\u2013”good girls” and everyone else, and one of them is good for fucking and the other one is good for marriage and never the twain shall meet and zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz? How is this fulfilling for anyone? Enough.<\/p>\n

I came across two things this week that hurt to read. The first was a dumb collection of dumb shit written by a dummy, entitled ” Why Good Girls Have Become As Extinct As Unicorns<\/a>” (NSFW). In it, the anonymous male author explains that modern women are disgusting sluts who deserve to be taken advantage of, so if you manage to find a “good girl” (ideally by grooming her from kindergarten onward), you should legally cleave to her and imprison her in your bungalow posthaste before some other dude snatches up “your” prize. You can always cheat on her later when she gets “boring,” which she definitely will, because she’s not a person, she’s just a vagina. This is “the mindset of men in the 21st century.” Deal with it<\/a>, ladies.<\/p>\n

The second painful thing I read today\u2013an utterly gutting counterpoint to the first\u2013was a speech by kidnapping and rape survivor Elizabeth Smart. Speaking at a Johns Hopkins human trafficking forum<\/a>, Smart explained why she didn’t try to run from her captors, or even cry for help when they took her out in public:<\/p>\n

\n

Smart said she “felt so dirty and so filthy” after she was raped by her captor, and she understands why someone wouldn’t run “because of that alone.”<\/p>\n

Smart spoke at a Johns Hopkins human trafficking forum, saying she was raised in a religious household and recalled a school teacher who spoke once about abstinence and compared sex to chewing gum.<\/p>\n

“I thought, ‘Oh, my gosh, I’m that chewed up piece of gum, nobody re-chews a piece of gum, you throw it away.’ And that’s how easy it is to feel like you know longer have worth, you know longer have value,” <\/p>\n
