RKS Literature: The Clean Mindedness of the Junior Anti-Sex League (Orwell)

“She was a bold looking girl of about 27 with thick dark hair, a freckled face and swift, athletic movements. A narrow scarlet sash, emblem of the Junior Anti-Sex League, was wound several times round the waist of her overalls, just tightly enough to bring out the shapeliness of her hips. Winston had disliked her from the very first moment of seeing her. He knew the reason. It was because of the atmosphere of the hockey-fields and cold baths and community hikes and general clean mindedness which she managed to carry about with her. He disliked nearly all women, and especially the young and pretty ones, who were the most bigoted adherents to the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers out of unorthodoxy.”

George Orwell, “1984”, 1949.
