I recently read a book about NXIVM. The erosion of sexual boundaries through constant peer-pressure was how women got drawn into it. Once they were in, the higher-ups would get some kind of blackmail on them to keep them there. (Meanwhile, everything would escalate exponentionally for the women trapped inside.)

Watch this girl talk about being pressured into sexually accepting men and keep in the mind the knowledge that her refusing would result in her being exiled and having her reputation trashed. Tell me this isn’t a fuckin’ cult.

Don’t Call it a Cult by Sarah Berman. It is an absolutely wild ride.
