“Purity culture” is part of patriarchy and is the close sibling of rape culture. It is part of misogyny and specifically exists to shame and devalue women for their innate sexuality. It’s part of a system that grooms you as a child to accept psychological abuse and have low self worth.
It’s not when you feel uncomfy because someone pointed out the consequences of your actions.
@danirabbitDanielle Foré I think there's a conversation to be had about how tech has adopted the language of purity culture, in no small part due to the rape culture and misogyny throughout said industry, but that's wholly distinct from the way folks have co-opted the term in the ways you point out.
Dismantling rape culture in tech would be a very good thing indeed.
