This Segment discusses the troubling dynamics of societal and religious shaming regarding sex and pregnancy outside of marriage. The focus is on a young woman who was forced to apologize to her church after becoming pregnant out of wedlock. The pastor's harsh response, including the denial of a baby shower and social ostracization, is scrutinized. 

The panelists express outrage over the double standard that allows men to avoid blame while women bear the brunt of the shame. They critique the persistence of outdated, misogynistic views on sex and sexuality, particularly within religious contexts. The conversation expands to the damage done by purity culture, repressing natural human desires and perpetuating harmful stereotypes about women's roles in sexual relationships.
