Status Updates From She Deserves Better: Raisin...

“Even during puberty, how many of us girls were told to give our male counterparts patience and grace because girls develop and mature head of boys? Contrast that with how few times we heard boys at the same age being told to look to girls for leadership and guidance because of their maturity.”

I have a real bone to pick with the way young girls are purposely kept so ignorant of their own bodies in the church. It's not the purity indicator pwople seem to think, as it's nearly directly equivalent to future abuse in her life. The statistics about girls who have been kept ignorant and in the bondage of Purity culture disproportionately growing up to marry abusers is horrifying.
