I fear you slander the Puritans. Most of what people know of the Puritans is what the liberals want you to believe. I've read them thoroughly and don't find much of the irrational judgementalism usually associated with them.

For example, I read one account of how the church in one of the early Massachusetts colony towns (I think it was Plymouth itself) kicked a man out because he wouldn't have sex with his wife anymore. They had tried sending some of the local men to talk to him, but he refused to listen so they disfellowshipped him.

If you asked a liberal what Puritan's thought about female sexuality, they'd probably say the Puritans used women and that women had no power or rights. They would find the idea of the community endorsing a woman's sexuality and taking "her side" against any man, for any reason, to be impossible. And so would people "educated" in the liberal schools.
