In part 2, Kate continues to take a detour from traditional pop culture and discusses a cultural phenomenon from her time in youth groups and church camps. Inspired by listeners' stories and her own experience, she talks about the impact of movements like True Love Waits and other elements of "purity culture," 20 years later. In this episode, she reads listener e-mails and DMs that describe their firsthand experiences in more detail, both positive and negative, as it relates to church, school, and parental messaging surrounding purity. This episode is designed to lightheartedly reminisce, seriously reflect, and to examine the long-term implications of (to quote Linda Kay Klein) "the Evangelical movement that shamed a generation of young women."
