Linda Kay Klein grew up a devout Evangelical Christian in the Midwest. She broke up with her high school boyfriend after being convinced the joy and excitement she felt around him made her impure and dirty. She and her friends were taught that girls were not only responsible for maintaining their own purity, but also that of the boys and men they interacted with.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel I remember that movement in the 1990s. I even encountered it in the 1980s. My interaction with it in the 1980s was introduced to me by an evangelist from the condemnation-generation. It was brutal and she cursed my baby because he was conceived out of wedlock. In the 1990s I met a young lady (17 years old) and she talked about her belief and those of her friends. It seems the young people were guiding their belief as a group of like-minded teenagers. She was refreshing for and inspiring to me. So I have encountered it both positive and negative.
