This event is free, but registration is required.
Remember purity rings, abstinence-only sex talks, and victim-shaming when someone was raped or touched inappropriately? It still happens today, and yes, that means purity culture is still around and kicking.
Purity culture is a subculture of Evangelical Christianity that peaked in the 1990s. The messages include shaming women for tempting men into sexual thoughts and teaching everyone that women are created to serve their husbands.
Join Mackenzie Lyon as she talks about how purity culture has affected our society and what we can do to stop its harmful message.
This event is sponsoted by the TN Coalition’s Inclusivity Committee, of which RISE is a member.
