After TLC dumped the Duggars, there was talk of making a spin-off show about the two married daughters and their husbands. According to reports, Jim Bob Duggar threw a fit about this because HE wanted to be on television, not his daughters. He stated that the good thing about the TLC show ending was that the focus had been on his daughters for too long and it should go back to being on him and message.
I think this is a pretty apt example of how this man thinks. Instead of being interested in promoting his children, he's angered by the thought of them being more popular than he is. It's not surprising. He is part of the purity culture that believes that the father/husband should always be the focus of things. Wives and children are just extensions of him. The ego is vast with this one.
Purity Culture, a movement that I assume was created by VC Andrews villains, just keeps getting worse and worse. This is one of the nastiest and most disturbing things I've ever read. If you ever think, even for a second, that this is a good idea for women or girls, just understand you're deeply wrong. This is incest.
Even before the outright sexual aspects of this began, the step-father was still in the wrong. The dynamic where girls are pushed to surrender their bodies to their fathers is creating a nasty situation where young girls who have no real ability to defend themselves. They are being systematically taken advantage of in the name of religion.
Any woman who willingly lets her daughter be a part of this should have her children taken away from her and sterilized. Any man who is willingly a part of this needs to be really honest with himself and realize he's a perverted egomaniac who is destroying the life of a young woman for his own sick pleasure. Even if he doesn't destroy her virginity, he's still destroying her autonomy and her innocence.
Though I suppose as long as he can justify it and doesn't outright take her virginity, it's all okay.
