Do you feel girls are too pressured to stay virgins, and this is affecting women negatively? Or is this author full of crap? Especially nowadays, a woman should be praised instead of put down if they are able to hold on to that.
I disagree with the author. Some people actually view virginity as something to be proud of. I personally believe it has taught me how to hold off on what I want, and get the things I need, first. Sure, you can learn those lessons elsewhere and in other ways, but maintaining virginity is a tough job and you come out with stronger character.
Not only that, but it makes relationships simpler. You learn to value the person for who they are, even with all their dents and dings. Equality or nothing, I say. As if I want my man to have been a skank-ho, either. Completely agree. I, too, think the pledges are ridiculous. Every society on Earth views women who have their hymen broken before marriage as⦠well⦠less. Sure, we could fight the long-standing morals of old. But how do you fight societal mores?
Her deciding to have sex is no different than a man deciding to have sex. Just because one is no longer a virgin does not make one a HO. I think these types of pledges are a convenient way for parents to neglect their responsibility to their kids. Now if any difficult questions come up, honey, just remember that you signed the pledge. End of discussion. SpatzieLover definitely. She never whipped out the legal paperworkβ¦.
The myth of sexual purity is new? I thought it has always been that way. It damages some women, others not. I do not care who fucks who, at whatever age within reason , or whom they choose to do it with. Why does society always feel the need to regulate our bodies? As a man who grew up extremely religious ironically with no pressure from my parents , I feel strongly that the pressures of complete abstinence are more harmful than not.
