'''Virginity''' is a manmade patriarchal concept used to oppress [[Woman|women]] for promiscuity. It is the state of a person who has never engaged in sexual activity. For [[Moid|men]], losing virginity is often celebrated and framed as an accomplishment. In contrast, women who are no longer considered virgins are stigmatized as 'impure' or 'used,' often subjected to [[Misogyny|misogynistic]] slurs and harassment.<ref>Coontz, Stephanie.
