Something Else I Missed Yesterday

"GIRLS RECITING PLEDGE:...to remain sexually pure...until the day I give myself as a wedding gift to my husband. ..

This whole thing makes my head hurt too, Digby. But the quote above is to me one of the worst of the major selling points of the whole Anti-Woman movement. (Yet I agree, too, in and of themselves that these Purity {cough,cough} Balls stink of incest porn all the way to the rafters.)Trying to treat women as if they were property is a horrible way to raise a Daughter. It not only will change the body politic's view of Women but it might change how Women view themselves and their bodies. If, after years of propaganda that a woman is taught that she's only a commodity, with specific use and a limited shelf life to boot, there's a point where she might begin to believe what the hammers of adversity are trying to force her to become... A breeder and nothing else or more. Make sure she keeps cranking out the cannon fodder.

These modern day repiglicans aren't the, "Daddy Party". They're the, "Deus Ex Machina Party." They think with their faith, hope and chastity that the big guy in the sky will stop looking at them as the abject failures that they are and return. Return and descend to reward His tired supplicants. They deserve nothing but the noose and the lash.

Oh how I'm starting to hate this country and those Royal Fucknobs that've been ruining it, (A/K/A The Repiglicans), for the last 50 or so years.

Now where's my medicine? My headache's back...

This was my two cents worth, FWIW..."


Now since Blogger is having trouble separating the beginning of my above quote from anything I preface it with. I'll do this whole thing backwards. And hopefully, quickly too as I wasn't kidding about the headache. It's getting worse.

This was a reply to this post: HERE From Digby's, about the SCOTUS decision yesterday on the ban on certain type or types of abortions. Then tangentially, the subject of, "Purity Balls", came up and... Well go read the original post as my response isn't all encompassing but more narrower than the whole of the area discussed.

Edited to add:

"One other question...

What IS it about these people that they get SO freaked out by anything having to do, even peripherally, with sex? What frightens them so that they've constructed whole religions against this one, (wonderful if you're not a chicken about it), part of the Human Experience? I guess what I'm asking is: What's wrong with 'fornication as recreation', as an aside from the biological imperative of,'copulation for population'?

All-in-all, my attempt to answer this is anecdotal from 40-plus years of watching and wondering. I'd never bother asking these jesus freaks the 5 W's of Journalism about it because they'd lie and quote their fuckin bible instead. So, while I wait for my meds to kick-in and help me with the fugue this article sponsored, what's anyone else's experience? Anybody have a good scenario as to what it is that's set these {harrumph} people off?"

Don't ask me why I decided to go back and post that but I guess my honest curiosity got the better of me whilst I emerge from the fog of my migraine.
I doubt anyone will even notice it, much less comment, but it would be nice if I could read other people's perspective into what scares these oddballs so about sex.
