[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well. I am glad I read the book (listened to the audiobook with all its extras, actually—including interviews with people mentioned in the book) because this forum made it seem like a gross disaster.

I found it measured and sincere. Funny at times and bittersweet. You don’t have to like her or agree with her deconstruction to recognize it as a well written book that is going to speak to a LOT of us—especially if you did grow up in a youth group in the 90s as a girl. Maybe some of you did not.[/quote]

I did not. And I think that’s why the slam on 90’s purity culture runs so hollow for me. I, and a lot of my friends, experienced the harms from the opposite view point. Jen and her entire coven all seem to act as if “free sex with whoever, whenever” as a TEENAGER, is the healthier route for life. I can assure you, it is not.

This is a great point. It’s as if she imagines life would be perfect has she been raised in a secular world. [/quote]
