Pure: Inside the Evangelical Movement That Shamed a Generation of Young Women and How I Broke Free by Linda Kay Klein

Did not finish book. Stopped at 26%.
I'm so angry. This came highly recommended from a podcast that I like. I was really skeptical when the author announced in the introduction that they were still a Christian that lived outside of purity culture. The final straw was when a person being interviewed said that she was married to a republican while she was a democrat. The women in this book are still in the choke hold of religious oppression that its completely blinded them to the fact that they are still in the throws of purity cultures big sister: anti-feminism. For an author that is on a mission to show the religious trauma of purity culture to still be participating in that culture is honestly disgusting. Skip this book. It is not as pro-woman as it seems to think it is.
