Today, John Hawkins put up a post at Right Wing News about Feministing Executive Editor Jessica Valenti’s new book, The Purity Myth.

Last night on instant messenger, a female friend of mine sent me a link to a new book that Jessica Valenti over at Feministing is coming out with. Yes, believe it or not, this apparently isn’t some sort of off-the-wall parody — it’s a real book[.]

After sending me the link, my friend’s comment was, “What is it with feminists and wanting to turn America’s teenagers into raging whores?”

Good question.

Yeah, that would be me. Here’s what the book cover looks like:

For what its worth, Jessica seems to have an obsession with sluttiness. She has some kind of particular aversion to girls practicing abstinence, or at the very least, not wallowing in the hook-up culture that dominates high schools and colleges today. According to Jessica, shirts that say things like “Future Wife” and “Virgins are Hot” are SEXIST!! (how shocking). She also hates purity balls. She hated this article from Time Magazine. Here’s an excerpt Jessica featured and called “creepy”:

Why is it so many feminists are so obsessed with turning teenage girls into raging whores? How is that something you tell girls they should aspire to? Sleeping around is not a good thing. Even if you take the emotional aspect out, it’s not physically healthy. There’s a reason that 1 in 4 teenage girls has an STD. I guess that doesn’t matter to Jessica, because hey, obviously as long as you practice “safe sex” you’ll NEVER get an STD! Condoms are absolutely foolproof, so hey, screw whoever you want. There won’t be any consequences. Right?

Oh, wait, apparently that’s not working out too good for teenage girls.

You would think, if for no other reason, you’d want to tell girls to rein it in if for no other reason than to safeguard their health. But hey, telling girls to be pure is really the problem. Girls Gone Wild culture is healthy, telling girls to keep their legs together is not.

Yeah, that’s the advice of a sane, rational person with girls’ well-being at heart.

See, for feminists like Jessica it’s not good enough to say it’s your choice when it comes to sex. Modern feminism isn’t about choice though, is it? No, Jessica and her ilk have to make everyone else act the exact same way they do. Is it to validate their own choices? I’d wager a bet on that, although if that is the truth, it would be the strongest argument against the point that Jessica is making.

Look, I’m not about to say that anyone who has premarital sex is a slut, or that if you have had a lot of sex it means you’re a terrible person. I am saying that spreading your shit like you’re Samantha on Sex and the City is not healthy and it’s not something you should be telling teenage girls they should be emulating.

Well you can read the rest of the story over at Cassy Fiano’s blog: http://www.cassyfiano.com/2008/10/putting-out-is-so-much-better-for-girls-than-abstinence

The point is that because of feminists, our society is becoming one huge “Girls Gone Wild,” with even little girls being sexualized in our culture. Leave out the STD’s and unintended pregnacies ending in the murder of the innocent human beings in their wombs. What concerns me even more is a feminazi driven culture that is stealing the beauty of sexual relationships, monogamy and basic decency from the lives of our most precious beings - women. That being said, what will the future look like?

I think because of this and the nonsense of homosexual marriage that marriage itself will die out in a few decades and all relationships will be transitory, traditional families will cease to exist and we will have produced wholly selfish future generations. I am glad I won’t be here to see it all!
