Gen Z accidently reinvented Purity Culture

Purity culture has seeped into progressive spaces over the past few years in ways you wouldn't expect, and people are aligning with the same backwards thinking purity culture preaches. That a woman should be shamed for her body, her clothing, her choices all in the name of "safety" and "respectability". From Olivia Rodrigo's babydoll dress, to Billie Eilish for not wearing modest enough clothing, a push against x in media, to respectability politics showing up in the "male centered women" trend, to the boy sober tiktok trend and this obsession that's been forming about "dressing for the male gaze" vs the "female gaze"... and a lot more including a solo hiker, Kamryn Renae, being targeted as she funds her life via OF. Lots to get into today!
