Christian slut-shaming is racist to Asian women and causes fetishization, experts say
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-america/purity-culture-anti-asian-racism-intersect-white-evangelical-circles-rcna765
>The intersection of purity culture and anti-Asian racism is familiar to many Asian American Christian women, who say there’s long been a connection between the two among white, conservative Christians.
>“Purity culture,” a subculture of evangelical Christianity that peaked in the 1990s — with young girls pledging to their fathers to abstain from sex until marriage by wearing “purity rings” — is still present today. It forbids sexual activity outside of heterosexual marriage and places the responsibility on women to manage men’s sexual desires by dressing modestly and not tempting them.
>Christine Hong, an assistant professor of educational ministry at Columbia Theological Seminary in Atlanta, said the rationale authorities attributed to mass shooter Robert Aaron Long evinces a toxic combination of Christian sexual purity theologies.
>“Sexual purity theologies are tied to white supremacy because Asian women have a transcontinental history of being hypersexualized and fetishized through Orientalism and militarism in Asian nations,” Hong said. “You can be a 65-year-old grandmother whose job is to feed co-workers at an Asian-owned day spa and suddenly you are a sex worker, a ‘temptation’ for white men. These dangerous theologies erase the lives and personhood of the Asian women the shooter murdered and instead make them solely temptations to be eliminated. He preserves his righteousness by eliminating the temptation.”
You haven't been spreading those dangerous beliefs, right /pol/?
