The virginity cult insists on making an artificial linkage between unbroken hymen and anatomical virginity and honor. Artificial virginity is a natural outcome of this fallacious connection. Insisting on female sexual purity would surely produce virginity and blood, but only as faked. Social construction of virginity is not only unrealistic and unattainable but also sexist, hypocritical, and conducive to a thriving culture of deceitfulness. While two wrongs do not make a right, both wrongs are part of the same quixotically constructed gender reality concerning female sexuality, virginity, and honor.
