The site presents existing resources in “a more flashy, engaging way,” he added. There are essays by Crystalina Evert, Wendy Shalit and Stasi Eldredge and videos such as the Dove Corporation’s “Onslaught,” in which the transformation of an ordinary woman into a digitally-altered supermodel is documented at high speed.
Other videos include presentations by chastity speaker Jason Evert and media analyst Jean Kilbourne.
“Jason Evert and Wendy Shalit have both been in contact with me and really appreciate demandyourdignity.com and what the site is doing,” Doherty reported.
CNA noted that the site says it is “made by real men” and asked Doherty who those “real men” are.
He said they are “tons of men” passionate about the issue of chastity and positive images of women.
“We are college students, high school students, middle school students, post-grads, husbands, fathers, and priests. What sets us apart is that we won't stand for this any longer, and we have a lot to say,” he explained. “And that’s the beauty of it. Just by making our presence known we can have a huge effect on women.”
Doherty reported that he had encouraged men to write letters of encouragement to women and was “so surprised” by the response.
“These men poured their hearts. They weren't writing to specific women, but any women. And the response from the women was even more remarkable,” he said.
The “Letters to Women” project spawned a Facebook group named “We will not stand by while women are treated like objects ITS [sic] TIME TO FIGHT.”
“What I hope to do is just provide these men with a means to express themselves loudly and give them the tools to fight back,” Doherty told CNA.
