![]() Um, and you maybe full of regret, you know, kind of like press sand on something and be like, oh shit. And just also to let you know if you are someone yeah. And so that's a, that's a really big intro for today's episode. Um, and why we'll be sharing a little bit about our experiences as well. And that's why we think these stories are important. Um, and yeah, no from us anyway, not from us. Uh, sadly in many cases in, in this, in this particular episode, it's kind of sad that many of us have this experience, but at least we can find a little bit of comfort in knowing that we're not alone in this and that there is no shame. And I think the reason why these stories and why we asked for stories is because they can be really healing when we get to come out of our little corner of shame that we've been existing in and alone and realize that there are other people who have walked a similar road, um, and. Um, just because, you know, stories are such a powerful thing. Well, I just also want to thank you so much to everyone who was brave enough to send their story in. So much, but, um, it's another thing to press record and know that, um, you know, hundreds of people are going to be less than ![]() Like it's, it's one thing for us to, um, shoot the shit on Marco polo about this stuff, which we, which we have done. I think Gabby and I are both feeling a little bit nervous about talking about it in different ways. Um, so we understand that it's a really vulnerable thing to talk about. How this, how the culture of talking about sex and sexuality has affected our lives as we've maybe unpacked some of that teaching some of that, some of those messages. Um, and so many of us are still a work in EIT. And it also is quite telling that there were more emails and voice notes this time, because I think that this topic in particular is so difficult. And I suppose that all of the emails and voice notes that we got were from women. I mean, it goes to say it was with, I'd say it. So we, um, I guess that's where we're coming from is we want to talk about the culture of, um, Of that, of, of where that has come from and how it has affected particularly women. And I think particularly where women are often more scrutinized, more heavily sexualized, uh, than men and given all kinds of mixed messages about their sexuality. But really is a narrative around sexuality, that has often bled into mainstream culture. But I guess what we're talking about here is a culture that we have observed and experienced more so in faith and church communities, um, and in evangelicalism, where it has been pretty prevalent.Īnd where it really, I think it is derived from is in those, in that context. ![]() We know that lots of you obviously, because we've heard from you have had experiences and understand what this term means. Um, and I think, yeah, it's important that we maybe give a little bit of context to what we mean by purity culture. Um, so if that just feels like it might be a bit much for you, then we absolutely understand if you just need to opt out of this episode. Um, but we, we also just thought it was really important that we share with you that those are things that have come up in the, in the stories that we've received and the things that we're going to talk about today. Uh, a really honest and important conversation. And it's, uh, hopefully if he, uh, feels safe enough to listen, um, this we hope is going to be. Um, and so with that, we want to make sure that we put a little bit of a content warning in that, uh, during this episode, we're going to be talking about all things around sexuality, um, stuff that comes up around sexual abuse, um, abuse of authority, death, shim, all kinds of stuff. Um, but also we're sharing your stories, stories that you submitted to us by email or voice notes. Um, and I think it's important that right from the get go, we give a little bit of a trigger warning, um, that the things that we are going to talk about today, um, are partly our commentary on our own experience around purity culture, which will give some context to in a second. Um, we're just gonna launch right in to tell you that this week we are going to be talking a bit purity culture.
