I'm back from the vacation that I talked about recently, where I visited Marie's family's summer cottage. I've been trying to settle into the things I have to do now that I'm home, and in the process I logged into Twitter. Right away I stumbled across a post about purity culture. I've written about that before, but part of what struck me this time was how closely this description matches what Marie says about her life and her relationship to her own body even long after she had rejected all the religious beliefs that supported it!
Toxic, deadly beliefs. Toxic, dangerous ideas. Don't inflict these on others. And if you believe them yourself, try to find a way to something kinder and more nutritious.
