[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All the non-stop complaining about purity culture, misogyny, etc. has just become mindless cliches of the deconstruction, exvangelical, call-it-whatever-you-want movement of people who desperately want to be victims but who have largely lived comfortable, privileged lives. It's both vapid and gross. [/quote]

Amen.  The very same people that were preaching the purity culture not that long ago.

Basically, they will exalt whatever structure is benefiting them.  Jen's church community was "so dear" for so many years.  Years that she seemed to not notice did not include many people, were being excluded for reasons like being divorced, still being single, having very high need children, being gay, whatever.

Since that time, there have been many memoirs written by people that needed (really) to leave their cult like religious group and deconstruct.  The Netlfix series of the Orthodox Jewish woman for example.  The ladies that had to break out of the fringe group in the Morman church with multiple ACTUAL child brides, no education, and no choices.  People's whose patriarchal religions truly isolated them instead of sending them on speaking engagements around the country and writing best selling self help groups and blogs that reached millions.  Anyway, these stories included brainwashing, child brides, oppression, expectation to get married, etc.  They had to escape and rebuilt, and these stories - both Netflix and a few paperbacks I've read, sold very well, and garnered sympathy.   And so Jen's story is also rewritten, kind of a very weird appropriation.
