[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Read the small excerpt on her IG and I don't think I can read any more.  She is trying so hard to write her own Handmaid's Tale.

I don't want to hear a word about bodies from a woman who publicly shames an overweight person on a plane.

I am a couple of years older than Jen, and spent plenty of time in Southern Baptist youth group (Nashville, no less.) Purity culture was about sex being important enough, and special enough, to wait until marriage.  It had plenty of flaws, but I think this was its main message- that sex was a gift from God, who made our bodies wonderfully.

I was raised in a mostly non-churchgoing household,  but went to youth group on Wednesdays with a friend and her family.  The church message was a relief from everything else that I was reading and watching at home, which was Cosmo and HBO and Cinemax.  I just get frustrated with Jen so much because she just maligns everything to do with her church background (that her father was a big, positive part of).

I just read the excerpt on Instagram too. It's barf inducing. But there are hundreds of comments from people who seem to love it. It's astounding to me.[/quote]
