Cherubs Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 OMG IT is a myth, and made up bullshit myth to shame and humiliate females! https://cafemom.com/news/tiktok-mom-parenting-lessons-virginity-myth/the-admission-got-lacorte-thinking-about-some-of-her-own-parenting?fbclid=IwAR0eovIBG9kt0odMo7lM1ifwQ_liXVuiNVKJTcdOjdflIqKMpvvk8gW3KYg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryl Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Great topic OP! American culture openly conflates sexuality with morality — as Jessica Valenti writes in her book, The Cult of Virginity, we are into “idolizing virginity as a stand-in for women’s morality.” Whether or not we have sex and who we have sex with are all that’s valued in regard to women and girls. https://medium.com/the-establishment/a-quick-and-dirty-history-of-virginity-9ceb24b7e08a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 No it isn't! Penises are magic wants and penetration with one changes us into something else! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherubs Posted March 1, 2021 Author Share Posted March 1, 2021 I can not believe I haven’t made this connection, I knew it was ridiculous but this nails it, I can’t wait for my daughter to get home from school, so we can discuss this angle.

LemonMyrtle Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 we should all "lose our virginity" to ourselves. Self love people, make that special first time be with the most important person in your life, you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloFlo Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Of course it's a myth just like being a slut is a myth. Never hear about men being called sluts and putting it about do you? People should be allowed to sleep with as little as many people as they like and not be judged for it. Of course I don't mean those who are in committed relationships who choose to have one partner only - unless they want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its totes different :face_vomiting: I always want to know who they are sowing those oats in...other men? Nope, sluts! So sluts have a purpose but don't bring one home to meet the parents.

VeritasVinumArte Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I rewatched 4 Weddings and a Funeral last night. It was refreshing watching Andie McDowell’s character recounting the 30+ People she had slept with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Women are more often than not labelled as sluts when they've had more than one partner. Doesn't happen with men. If it does, they certainly aren't shamed as often as women are.

IamtheMumma Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 It’s just so completely illogical that women get slut shamed while men get virgin shamed. Be consistent, shamers. But that's how religious logic works. Remember witch tests. If she drowned, she was innocent. If she survived, she was a witch and then promptly burnt at the stake.

Bad Cat Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Of course virginity is a myth. I mean honestly, what other activity gets its own special word for someone who hasn't done it?Do we have a special word for someone who's never driven a car? Someone who hasn't eaten sushi? Someone who's never swum in the ocean? Of course we don't. It would be utterly ridiculous. As is virginity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magic_marker Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 That's hilarious. Is it just coincidence that your post is number 69 for you? That Eve just ruined it for everyone though, didn't she. Oh yeah, that book was written by men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
