The Clueless Double-Standards Of The Slave Mind
I stumbled upon an article about a woman who was a mid-30s virgin, because she was "saving herself for marriage".
Many people had different thoughts to share about it, in the comments.
My position was this:
I hope she hasn't been coerced by anyone; not even for religious reasons.
If she is celibate for entirely non-coerced/voluntary reasons, and as long as she's happy with that, then I'm happy for her.
---
Many agreed.
However, ...
one very triggered guy replied to me with this:
"why would you worry about her motivations. As a free woman, it’s her life to live."
----
To that, I replied:
Like I said. "For her sake".
In fact, my entire point was that "As a free woman, it’s her life to live.".
Thus,
I hope she wasn't coerced into those decisions.

I've done hundreds of hours of research on trauma and regrets caused by religions.
Every year of life is a year we can't get back.
So whenever someone gets pressured or duped into a pseudo-moral religious-values narrative, ...
If they later wake up from that and realize how much of their potential joys in life they've squandered,
and realize how much they allowed other humans to control them through
~a crippling and irrational shame~ about their sexuality, ...
That awakening is both fantastically liberating, and fantastically angering.
- Because then they realize just how much they've suffered, sacrificed, and lost out on; during the years they spent mentally enslaved to the dysfunctions of others.

To this, he replied:
You certainly have a high opinion of your own opinion, but, there’s always the possibility that your personal opinions may not be end all for everyone (anyone) else. I guess the logical question would be, who made you the absolute world authority on these or any other matters?
------
To that, I replied:
The fact that I took a quick moment,
in passing,
to worry about a fellow human being,
without accusing anyone of anything,
without assuming anything,
and without bothering to 'call out' any specific religion, ...
is not the same as:
Thinking that I'm the absolute world authority on these or any other matters.
But consider the absurdity
of you
being defensive
~on behalf of~
a religious domain (religions we didn't even need to put a name to. Obviously, you and I both know which religions do the things I mentioned),
when those religions' ENTIRE NARRATIVE
[the absolute premise from-which-they-speak]
is that they (each and every member) are "the absolute world authority" on these and many other matters, as the voice of our "God" (who couldn't be bothered to speak for himself).
It's a double-standard.
They can outright claim to speak by an unquestionable, absolute, and final moral authority (over the lives of every human in existence)
and you don't blink an eye.
In fact, those people are actually who Sara Bareilles was singing about, when she sang "King Of Anything".

How clueless can religious fanboys be?
Some random stranger on the internet takes a hot second to hope someone hasn't fallen pray to that.
And then some ironic slave cries out;
- in defense of Christianity's right to be ... the very thing he says no one should try to be.
Such confused thinking boils down to these primary elements:
----------
What is ISN"T
is free-thinking, compassion, or wisdom.
