Dan Sexton: American Preacher and University Student
Dan Sexton is an American preacher and student at the University of Arizona. He holds a radical biblical position and gives lectures and sermons on campus almost daily. After hearing Dan Sexton speak, many students are left questioning if it is really the year 2014, as his beliefs align more with religious teachers of the past centuries.
Controversial Views
Sexton believes that women should not attend university as it is not beneficial for them and has led to a surge in feminism, which he believes destroys traditional patriarchal society. Furthermore, he shockinglу believes that in most cases, women are to blame for their own sexual assaults. According to his views, revealing clothing and behavior that he deems subservient to men often cause disgust in men, leading to rape as a lesson and punishment. He is also staunchly against same-sex relationships and the legalization of same-sex marriages. Sexton opposes casual relationships on campus, arguing that they only occur due to the absence of religious context.
Controversy and Followers
Despite facing protests from other students, Sexton manages to gather followers, both young men and women. In early May 2014, popular magazine "VICE" published a 10-minute video about his activities on campus, which quickly gained attention from various media outlets. The administration of the University of Arizona received numerous letters requesting action to silence what the news channels labeled as a "champion of rapists."
Biography
Dan Sexton was born in the United States and was raised in an extremely religious family. After finishing high school, he enrolled at the University of Arizona. Upon arriving on campus, he was horrified by the lifestyle of most students and encountered girls dressed in a manner that he deemed sinful. He began his activism by creating several T-shirts, one with the slogan "Anti-Feminism" and another displaying a pointing finger accompanied by the words "You are a whore."
In 2013, he delivered his most successful sermon on campus, holding a sign that read "You deserve to be raped!" However, the news did not leave the university grounds and only appeared in student newspapers with attention-grabbing quotes, which are usually abundant in Sexton's sermons.
Interestingly, Sexton's friends share similar views. Sarah, a supporter and one of his close friends, stated, "If girls stayed at home, there would be no cases of rape. Of course, you can't say that every case is the girl's fault, but a significant number of rapes happen because of the girl's actions."
Despite the national attention he has received, many understand that Sexton's actions are partly driven by a desire for attention, in which he has succeeded.
