Virginity movement's war against women. [San Francisco, California, USA : Kanopy Streaming, 2014. 1 online resource (1 video file, 45 min.) tdi rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier Edited by Jason Young ; media research, Scott Morris ; camera, David Rabinovitz. Originally produced by Media Education Foundation in 2011. In this video adaptation of her bestselling book, pioneering feminist blogger Jessica Valenti trains her sights on "the virginity movement" -- an unholy alliance of evangelical Christians, right-wing politicians, and conservative policy intellectuals who have been exploiting irrational fears about women's sexuality to roll back women's rights. From dad-and-daughter "purity balls," taxpayer-funded abstinence-only curricula, and political attacks on Planned Parenthood, to recent attempts by legislators to de-fund women's reproductive health care and narrow the legal definition of rape, Valenti identifies a single, unifying assumption: the myth that the worth of a woman depends on what she does -- or does not do -- sexually. In the end, Valenti argues that the health and well-being of women are too important to be left to ideologues bent on vilifying feminism and undermining women's autonomy. Higher education.
