Virginity is a manmade patriarchal concept used to oppress [[Woman|women]] for promiscuity. It is the state of a person who has never indulged in sexual activity. For [[Moid|men]], having lost his virginity is a celebration and is seen as an accomplishment in his life. Contrary to men, women who are no longer considered virgins are seen as 'un-pure and used' by society, often subject to [[Misogyny|misogynistic]] slurs and harassment. | Virginity is a manmade patriarchal concept used to oppress [[Woman|women]] for promiscuity.

Female sexuality has long been suppressed, demonized, and infantilized. Male sexuality is seen as the norm, while female sexuality is seen as secondary and non-existent. It is a common misconception that women are broadly asexual creatures. During sexual education classes, boys are encouraged to explore their urges from a young age, while girls solely are taught about motherhood, childbearing and menstruation. Girls are commonly taught to remain passive, silent, and ashamed of their sexuality. Masturbation is considered normal, even healthy, for boys but when a girl discovers her own body, she is seen as broken, corrupted, or acting out. | Female sexuality has long been suppressed, demonized, and infantilized.
