Kentucky church shuts down after pastor charged with child sex abuse

Gee, it’s almost as though all the right wing culture-war bullshit about sexual virtue and protecting children is a farce. But that doesn’t seem right. Right wingers care about these things for real rather than cynically, don’t they?

No. They don’t.

The most interesting thing in the article to me was the dress code. Sources interviewed for the story say there's a culture of preventing women from "tempting" men, but at the same time women are banned from wearing pants or tights (they have to wear pantyhose instead). Like it's the women's fault they're getting ogled but God forbid they cover their legs cos that's too manly or something

One of the women in the story, who was actually on the side of the sexual harassers, said one of them pinched her leg to "make sure she was wearing 'her uniform'"
