(9,126 posts)Lays it all out well about the idea of "loose women" but it still is a conundrum to me because men, especially those who are the most puritanical with their wives and daughters, need and use "loose women" to fulfill their perverted fantasies. And anyone who screams about rape, sex and gay sex every waking moment of the day obviously has sexual issues.
I guess I'm just so far removed from the religious right it always shocks me. Why would anyone sign up for that kind of oppression? I understand there is a whole lot of brainwashing involved, but it is so unnatural and illogical, you have to do some severe twists and turns in your brain and heart to keep it going. That must catch up with you some day. In high school most of the girls I knew who were the most aggressively sexually active and at the earliest age were Mormon and Catholic. I know this is anecdotal, but it just seems like they had to prove they wouldn't be struck by lightning for having sex. They were also the most paranoid about getting pregnant, a real deep-seated fear because their parents likely would have disowned them, and more than one had an abortion. But in the end, they returned to the fold and married into their church and had a gaggle of kids. I know there must be a whole lot of conflict for them.
