I know the community of which Alan speaks. This is a very powerful and accurate description, made more powerful that it is written by a young man who grew up in this environment. Thank you, Alan, for one of the most well-written articles I have read concerning purity culture.
Megyn Kelly claimed Epstein was into “the barely legal type,” referring to 15 year-olds.
So I wrote about how her comments highlight the ways both purity culture and rape culture sexualize young girls and make male desire their responsibility.

Elon Musk’s new pay package could amount to $100B per year.
That's the same as 3.2 million cashiers’ paychecks combined.
It’s more than 1.4 million elementary school teachers’ paychecks.
It’s more than 2 million janitors’ paychecks.
