Documentary Screening: The Purity Myth: The Virginity Movement’s War Against Women
March 8, 2023, 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm, CEU, Quellenstraße 51 (room: D‑002), 1100 Wien
Organised by the Political, Legal, and Moral Philosophy research group (POLEMO) and the South/South Movement, in cooperation with CEU Community Engagement Office and the Department of Gender Studies at Central European University
“The Purity Myth” is a 2011 video adaptation of “The Virginity Movement,” a bestselling book by Jessica Valenti. The feminist blogger shows how a movement of evangelical Christians, conservative thinkers and right-wing politicians aims to reduce women’s worth to whether they are sexually active or not and exploits fears about female sexuality to work towards a retrenchment of women’s rights. Valenti states in the documentary, „women are still led to believe that our moral compass lies somewhere between our legs, literally.“
