  • @gramamge33 I have to agree with Dan. Lying about your virginity is anti-feminist and fucked up. Feminism is about owning your body and sexuality. Lying about your sexuality means you are ashamed of it. I can't really find a way to justify lying about the virginity.

  • @kiwisunshine5233 Of course, if the guy only wants to fuck a virgin, then you'd be obtaining consent for the sex under false pretenses, which, while not necessarily illegal, is still NOT OKAY. Add to that the complicity in perpetuating sexist, socially-destructive memes regarding female sexuality, and I'm going to agree that lying about virginity runs counter to contemporary feminist theory; it enables and rewards a form of sexual chauvinism.

  • if it's about coming across as, i don't know, clean and modest or something(though i don't think sex is any measure of that) it's fucked up all right, what's more if it's about sleeping with a guy who only wants to 'score' virgins, and you'd lie to do that you've got issues.

  • I don't think it's anit-feminist, it just seems like a jerky thing to do

  • SEX IS RAPE!

  • I would imagine feminism is about standing up for yourself as a woman and not lying about who you are to get what you want... Just my guess, of course I'm somewhat chauvinistic but whatever...

  • Why does it matter if you're not a virgin anyway? Virgin or not a virgin, you're still going to fuck regardless.

  • What the hell does lying about your virginity or anything else for that matter to a potential partner have to do with feminism? It just makes you dishonest and that to me is BAD.

    Also; why would you want to be with a guy who is that preoccupied with the state of your vagina instead of being interested in you as a whole person?
