virginity & value of women |
I had this post on draft in my
blog for a long time and I thought I had to write this out when I saw a post on
Glipho (a new exciting blogging platform) that was discussing an issue closely related
to this article.
Georgia has created turmoil
lately when its women stood up for protest against ‘’virginity test’’ that was
subjected to brides-to-be particularly by their mother-in-laws to ensure that
their sons future wives are ‘’pure’’ and uphold their chastity. Apparently,
there are as many as 200 ‘’virginity inspections’’ made each year according to
Georgia’s National Forensics Bureau with each test costing about $50 to $60 and
double this amount for faster results. This practise has caused uproar in the
society especially among feminists who slam hard on the unethical and oppressive
act. A week ago, Independent Group of Feminists organised a protest to stop the
‘’virginity institute’’ that ‘’measures’’ the value of women based on their
chastity alone.
Meanwhile, as the society puts so
much emphasis on the ridiculous belief that women who are not virgins at
marriage are not decent women, there is a steady increase in the demand to ‘’restore’’
virginity among women who wants a second marriage and women who fail the test
whereby surgeons temporarily stitch the hymens back together.
Now, getting back to my thoughts
on this, I drafted this post because I was angered with the fact that women are
oppressed emotionally with the common notion that the society held that blindly
and stupidly believes that women’s ‘’chastity’’ is the greatest gift for their
men. I found a blog where a man was discussing this and says that men treasure
their wives more when they reserve their precious first experience for them. If
men choose to respect their women, this freaking damn plain sheath won’t be an issue
to be debated on in the first place. If men really appreciates women when they ‘’preserve’’
themselves for their men on the wedding night, why are we still seeing some of
them wagging their ‘tails’ and going after another woman or ditching their
wives with a few children? Is that damn hymen is something men own in women in
the first place to be given away and is their concern on women as thin as the
sheath?
Of course the first sexual
encounter remains fresh on mind, just like the first kiss, the first phone you
used, the first school you attended and everything else that came first in your
life. But the first may not be the best. So men, why the fuss over the women’s
chastity when you know their past won’t harm your happiness together?
If men can be encouraged to have
sex and explore sexual activities at a very young age, so can women. If the
damn society thinks men need to have sex with other women who are not their
respective wives just so that they save embarrassment during the wedding night,
so can women. If men think they can shove their damn thing into any women just
because they have sexual liberty, so can women. If men need to learn how to ‘handle’
their wives so must women or else don’t complain that your women are not good
at bed!
I believe women would feel bad
with the fact that someone has laid her hands on their men as much as men who
feel the same over their wives. If something is wrong for women, it is equally
wrong for men too.
