Pure: Inside the Evangelical Movement That Shamed a Generation of Young Women and How I Broke FreeButterfinger Student 1: So-and-so is out with her 'chestacles'. Student 2: Not chestacles. Testicles. Student 1: She is not an octopus. Me: First of all INTESTINES is part of the digestive system. Secondly, TESTICLES are part of a Male's reproductive system. And, finally, an octopus has TENTACLES, NOT CHESTACLES. I feel that it is my responsibility to straighten up misconceptions, not create them. 5y
GingerAntics @Butterfinger you and me both. You couldn‘t pay me enough to teach something I knew was a blatant lie. 5y
GingerAntics @Megabooks you‘re the second person to suggest that book. I think that‘s the book I thought I was reading. This one is so focused on the social side, it has yet to mention how this is effect everyday life and real relationships. 🤦🏼♀️ This Book is getting old, fast. 5y
