We feel virtuous when we wake up at dawn to get a jump on the day. We put others' needs ahead of our own and believe this makes us exemplary. In On Our Best Behavior, journalist Elise Loehnen explains that these impulses - often lauded as unselfish, distinctly feminine instincts - are actually ingrained...

"Few things bring more immediate scrutiny and impassioned angst among young adult Christians today than hearing the words "purity culture." Serious flaws from purity culture deserve to be scrutinized, especially given its lasting negative effects on some raised in the movement. Many Christians today reject the movement--and all that it stood for--wholesale. However, we can't ignore the clear sexual ethics of the Bible. Pure dives into the big picture...
