Dictating virginity is a harmful practice that perpetuates gender inequality and sexual shame. It reinforces the idea that women's worth is tied to their sexual purity, and it can lead to discrimination, violence, and even death. Virginity testing is a particularly egregious form of this practice, as it is a medically unnecessary and invasive procedure that can cause physical and psychological harm. It is important to challenge the idea of virginity as a measure of a woman's value and to promote comprehensive sex education that empowers individuals to make informed choices about their sexual health.
