Why is high-control conservative Christianity so obsessed with the idea of virginity? What “counts as” virginity? How is it “lost” or “given away”? Why are discussions and admonitions concerning virginity so focused on women? How does the concept of virginity serve the interests of high-control religion in policing women’s bodies, their sexuality, and their desires? Check out this week’s episode to hear what Dan has to say.
