I’ve had a
lot of requests lately to revisit my purity ring posts now that I’m apparently “older
and wiser and more mature.” Even funnier than the idea that I’m either wiser or
more mature is occasionally add-on of “less sin filled”. I take that one as a
personal insult… or maybe a challenge.
I’ve given
the idea of rewriting these posts a lot of thought, a lot more thought than I
normally give a post, and I’ve decided against it. Not because of the amount of
hate these posts get (which for the record is a lot) but because I whole
hearted agree with both the original post I wrote back in 2011 and the follow
up I did in 2012. (Both posts are link in case you want to read them.)
Both posts
were well researched, particularly my 2012 one, which was basically a giant
screw you to the insane amount of alleged Christians who had and continue to
message me to this day telling me I’m wrong, a horrible human and I’m going to
hell.
The facts, the
numbers and studies haven’t changed; purity rings do not work and those who
take the pledge are substantially more likely to practice unsafe sex.
TV shows
like Teen Mon and 16 and Pregnant, have actually had a bigger impact on both
teens waiting to have sex and practicing safe sex than these magical silver
rings that are meant to keep teen legs closed in the name of God have ever had.
If anything
in the 4 years since I posted my original blog, scientific studies have proven
these facts more definitively and me rewriting my post won’t change that. As
much as you may disagree, facts are facts.
I won’t
leave you with a question of at ter in comment box below. And
as always stay, and play, safe.
Love,
The Honest
Bitch
