This is the number one trending story on RawStory today: ‘Ewww’: Internet erupts over photos of Mike Johnson at ‘purity ball’ with his daughter (click here).
I decided, as I often do on RawStory, to make an illustration (above) in lieu of a comment. A picture can be worth, if not 1000 words, at least a dozen.
Some of the other comments, none with illustrations, to this article are as follows. They are listed simply in the order they were published.
looks more like an Incel event where the pathetic, old White males trade daughters for the evening….- Evangelicals dancing? Not supposed to be that way. “Pick up a Bible and read it.” indeed.
- I still find it comical the Puritanical “Moms For Liberty” co-founder was doing the gay with her husband and another woman. Then the husband wanted sex with the other woman and she said she was in it more for his wife. So he raped her. Only in Florida.
- JHC, Johnson is probably more depraved than we suspect, wait for it?
Mike Johnson is so deep in the closet he’s finding Christmas presents.
Do these people light candles before a statue of St. Oedipus?- “culminates with the daughter signing a pledge to her father to abstain from dating and to remain sexually abstinent until marriage.”
- But it’s not a cult and it’s not about controlling women
- Speaker / Preacher is a closeted member of royalty.
- I imagine the ‘after party’ and I get nauseous . ‘Family Values’, I guess… Praise Jesus.
- Do male children also participate in this weird ritual? Or is it only females that are eligible for total subjugation?
- and finally:
- And how does daddy verify his little girl is still a virgin? (There were three crude replies to this which I won’t inlcude here.)
- It’s just creepy. I can’t even imagine my father ever having done something like that. Yuck. And I also doubt most fathers talk about sex to their daughters.
- Seems borderline incestuous, I suspect that is the reason why so many people are using the words “creepy” or “spooky” to describe it. There are other reasons, it is demeaning and controlling. The insinuation is that a woman would be somehow considered soiled or dirty for having sex out of wedlock, its complicated. I will just call it creepy.
- And the horny teen boys sign where?
- The daughter has to sign a pledge to her father? That’s coercive control. There’s a lot that is seriously wrong with Johnston and his cult of Christian Nationalists.
There is one very long and very personal comment which you can read here.
There. The commenters to the RawStory article wrote my blog today.
