I am, in most definitions of the words, a feminist AND a virgin. I know, shocking that one would admit so openly to being a virgin, right?

WHAT??! Why is it so wrong to be a virgin? And why does it seem as though the terms virgin and feminist are mutually exclusive?

I believe women should have the same rights as men, but I don't believe this means women should be promiscuous. This is because society has it look like men are so promiscuous that if men and women are to be equal, they should be equally promiscuous. What the hell is that about?! I think men should keep their pants zipped as well! Women aren't the only ones who have the possibility of being virgins.

News flash: Men can be virgins too! It's called ABSTINENCE! Look it up!

Sure men and women both have sexual desires, but they shouldn't be penalized for holding out until marriage or even not participating in sexual activity at any time in their lives. I think these people should be applauded! Media is bombarding us with this pro-sex propaganda and if we have the bravery and courage to say "no thank you" than we should be able to live with just as much acceptance as those who partake in sexual acts.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that people who have sex are in the wrong here, but it's not right for them to tell us we should have sex if they admonish those who tell them not to have sex.

People should be able to live their lives in accordance to their own beliefs.
