There is no framework of restorative justice for victims of sexual assault and rape within the cult of sexual purity, no real punishment for abusers, and certainly no chance for the recuperation of what we have dangerously been taught is our primary spiritual good. What’s more, sexually abused, unmarried women and girls are implicitly interpreted as having “asked for it” anyway, our bodies an inherent source of temptation, “dangerous” to ourselves and to others. If you can make a man want you, you’re responsible for what comes next.
