    The statement is too absolute, you cannot safely assume someone has a psychiatric disorder or is sexually attracted to children simply because they support an ideology about abstinence or virginity. There isn’t evidence to justify that leap.

    I 100% disagree with the statement in red. But totally agree with the argument. Purity cultures teaches that waiting teaches self control, which can be true to some and not to some but the claim worth = virginity" is very wrong. But the documented effects include increased shame, lack of sex education and anxiety.

    It unfairly generalises an entire group. The statement takes a characteristic of some people and uses it to label everyone in that category. Even if you can identify harmful examples within purity culture, that doesn't establish that all or even most men who support it are pedophiles.

    Someone might support it because of their religious beliefs, cultural upbringing, personal values, or belief that sex should be reserved for marriage. None of these automatically indicate attraction to children.

    A person’s support for purity culture does not, by itself, indicate pedophilia. While individuals can hold harmful or hypocritical attitudes about sexuality, that does not justify assuming they are attracted to children without evidence.

    This is about protecting purity but the institutions or cultures uses manipulative teachings. There is this church that I know (dare not to mention names) that teaches purity culture. If you are a virgin there you are god, but that only counts if you are female. No one teaches the boys/ males to do the same, to stay "pure". And if you have already lost your virginity you are treated as a slave as they say " you are used goods" and they do not respect you. The ones that have lost their virginity, at church don't mix with the virgins. They have a certain name that is used to call them. Which is very degrading but they accept as they don't see themselves as nothing more as that was embedded into their heads from a young age. Which is a shame as I am sure it causes low self esteem, anxiety could also lead to depression
