Summary

Dr. Megan Goodwin is the author of Abusing Religion, which explores how White Christians and their influence in our "secular" institutions have constructed religious outsiders as sexual predators as a pretext for persecution and othering. The American body politic is envisioned as a White Christian woman in need of protection from religious (and racial) foreigners who seek to infiltrate and contaminate her. According to Goodwin, this is mobilized through the "catholicization of public morality" as it comes to sex, contraception, and the body--what she calls a "contraceptive nationalism." It also rests on latent White supremacy, which is manifest in both Protestant and Catholic institutions, communities, texts, and so on.

purity culture is something that both of us experienced and went through. I know a lot of folks

out there have as well. It was harmful. Am I right, Dan, that you had a pledge card at the very

0:47.3

first true love weights? I believe I did. Yeah, people study true love weights and they went to

the national mall and DC and put in all the cards. I believe that one of my cards was there.

0:56.4

Yeah. And I think I think it's a good series. As you say, we talk about purity culture.

It's talked about a lot. But there has been, I think, a gap of what it means in relation to

masculinity and for men and boys coming through purity culture. That's something I think we're
