@dantheclamman That little post isn’t particularly deep, or convincing.
It’s just parroting the currently fashionable stuff from the “left intellectual” press.
What’s REALLY disturbing about that shit, is:
* it mixes sexual/romance relationship with the relationship between parent & young-child, and *that is vile, underhanded, dishonest, and multidimensionally-improper*.
* it tries to disable thinking, culturally, displacing it with social-pressure
( which both left & right use, btw…
The most comical globally-visible example of that was the mass herd-protests after Trump was elected.
Masses of leftists heaped together to protest … Trump being active president.
And Universe *wouldn’t obey* this mass herd-assertion!!
IMPOSSIBLE!!
( incredulity is normal, among the social-process-obedient )
Eventually, Naomi Klein told them “saying no isn’t enough”, and they stopped.
But … they really believed that Universe would stop, drop, & roll, to obey their social-assertion of their herd??
Yes, they did.
THAT is frightening.
the right’s conforming/enforcing centrism is culturally-different from the left’s belonging-herd centrism, but both displace intelligence, with strategic/planet-scale lethal consequences, when one holds to the long view )
* it holds that one’s cultural-habit is better a decider than is intelligence ( both left & right do this, and the degree of competent-education required to break that from a population is well-beyond what our “education” has allowed/tolerated, to be )
* it holds that the rest of the world ought obey its cultural-delusion instead of considered-thinking, which means that considered-thinking has already been eradicated from within that culture
etc.
There are plenty of points, and that little item, linked-to, missed/ignored most of 'em…

What the hell did I just attempt to make sense of?
Purity balls themselves are kind of disturbing. Engaging in sexual activity should be a personal choice. It is societies responsibility to teach children the possible outcomes of sexual activity so they can make an informed decisions. Celebrating not engaging in sexual activity makes children think that these activities are bad and should be avoided.
I need to watch this movie again.
Mandy?
Aye.
They don’t want children to be educated about sexual activity because that usually is correlated with effective family planning, which means fewer children, which means women having more time for personal empowerment rather than simply being vessels for childbirth, which again means fewer children. Fewer children means fewer minds to convert to the religion that motivates the whole exercise. Many ‘successful’ religions aggressively propagate themselves, even if it’s at the expense of the well-being of the believers themselves.
That, plus these scumbags are all about foisting their hangups on the rest of us.
