MAGA Mike is one creepy motherfucker. He makes my skin crawl.
Yea, good luck with that.
So this is ok but kids discovering their gender and sexual identity is weird?
And the moment he turns his back, she will break that promise.
Children of parents like this learn deception and manipulation, not values and morals.
She’ll keep her promises just like GOP politicians do
Grew up around other adults that were clownishly strict with their kids, especially the daughters. From makeup, to ear piercings, to dating.
The harder they clamped down, the more the kids rebelled and hid their life from their parents.
Johnson is just an outdated clown trying to bring back moral restrictions that never worked to begin with, take away rights, and impose their bullshit belief system that they, most likely, don’t even come close to following.
No matter what your opinions are on sex, I think we can all agree that Mike Johnson *forcing* his daughter to be a virgin until marriage is creepy and gross. I also think it is super weird that he went to a purity ball and probably was lecturing other kids that sex before marriage is evil…
Again, I do not care if you want to wait until marriage. You are free to do whatever you want. But, I find it so disturbing that an old man is going to balls to ensure that children are virgins…
In front of many people. The heading leaves out the part that makes it worse. That there’s a ritual for it
If you want your kids to shut you out of their lives when they’re older, manipulative and controlling shit like this is one of the best ways to do it.
>Purity balls gained popularity during the 1990s and 2000s. While conservative Christians claim that the balls encourage young girls to avoid sex before marriage, research shows that teens who sign chastity pledges are more likely to get pregnant than teens who don’t.
Teach your kids what sex is and what safe sex is…even if (for whatever reason) you disagree with sex before marriage. Knowledge is the most effective tool for nearly everything Christian conservatives are worried about with regard to sex. The Bible tells parents to teach their children diligently. So teach them. There’s a whole book of the Bible dedicated to sex and romance. So this is something they shouldn’t worry about.
I don’t care if he wants to manage his kids life any way he wants. I care that he wants to manage everyone elses kids life any way he wants.
Mike wanted it in writing that he has first dibs.
Young voters are cool with this because they’re “mad at Biden”.
What about his son?
Republican parenting lol.
> The news segment shows him and his daughter at the ball. There, she pledges to her father “to make a commitment to God, myself, my family, my friends, my future husband, and my future children… to a lifetime of purity, including sexual purity,” ABC News reported. He nods in agreement while he hears the pledge read aloud.
I find this very creepy.
> During another part of the news segment, Johnson’s wife Kelly, who runs a Christian counseling service that compared LGBTQ+ identities to bestiality on its website, tells the German interviewer, **“We don’t talk to [our daughter] about contraception. Sex before marriage is simply out of the question.”**
> Purity balls gained popularity during the 1990s and 2000s. **While conservative Christians claim that the balls encourage young girls to avoid sex before marriage, research shows that teens who sign chastity pledges are more likely to get pregnant than teens who don’t.**
Whoops.
Can you be any more f*cking creepy? This s*it is like straight out of an episode of SVU where dad would definitely be the prime suspect.
This is how one grooms children to not report rape or sexual abuse. The guilt and shame of being no longer being “pure” and no man would want to marry them fosters a mentality of silence that enables abuses.
Yes this is horrible or weird or whatever, but imagine being his 13 year old daughter right now and having this article written about you.
Without reading the article, that’s pretty common in fundie/evangelical families. There’s a whole “purity culture” thing with balls, rings, etc. It’s gross and treats girls as property handed from father to future husband and promotes really messed up ideas about women’s sexuality.
Clayton Bigsby: “if anyone has sex with my sister, it’s gonna be me.”
Mike Johnson—replace “sister” with “daughter”
was this one of those weird pseudo-marriage ceremonies with a ring and everything?
And yet it’s the liberals who are the ones supposedly “indoctrinating” children….. 🙄
Nice having a second in line for the presidency whack job who’s gullible enough to think some guy built a boat to house millions of animals with a crew of 8 people. Makes me feel confident.
* unless it was with him
…you mean with anyone else but him, right?
Not sure I would make mine promise, BUT, I would heavily heavily heavily explain why I think it’s a terrible idea.
Can’t stand his smug ass looking face.
Purity culture is disgusting
This dudes obsession with his kids sex lives should be major red flags
. . . unless it was with him or his son. (fap, fap fap goes the entire male GOP house).
I predict a future teenage pregnancy. Poor girl.
No faster way to become a grandparent than to have your teenagers promise not to have sex
Isn’t this the same guy who has an app that sends a text to his teenage son to tell him his dad is watching porn?
I don’t care if he asked his daughter to promise this kind of stuff, as long as he doesn’t plan to impose his view on kids out of his family by passing the law or regulation.
Can we stop talking about his religious parenting and talk about how horrible he is for this country??? This is all the wrong narrative. He’s a religious nutjob, of course he made his daughter promise him she wouldn’t have sex!! Let’s talk about the danger to all of US!!!
Only Americans would try and find this out and report it.
What a fucked up country you have.
Ridiculous and sick.
Anyone who has known a baptist pastor’s daughter when they were in high school knows they be the freaky ones.
I raised two daughters. That is just about the creepiest thing I have ever heard of.
I know other parents do this kind of thing and have for a long time. But as a father of a daughter, who is now 19, this just weirds me out or maybe I’m the weird one.
I wonder who her Covenant Eyes accountability partner is
What the hell is wrong with these people. They are so obsessed with sex. Theirs and everyone else’s. The more they try to clamp down on everyone else’s sex life the more, especially the younger people, will rebel.
Was that before or after he and his son compared porn movies?
This dude is a pervert.
Why would you take your kid to a “purity ball”? Mike is one weird sex obsessed individual and it’s very creepy.
Evangelicals are obsessed with sex that other people are having.
