Sexuality Between the Genders

I do think that when it comes to men and women there is a double standard that persists, even to this day. Women have to be pure and save their virginity until they are married while men can do what they please. I think that nowadays, it has become somewhat ingrained in us over centuries of this occurring. Women are the more sexual beings, they entice men and cause them to do rash and immoral things. It's unfortunate but I think that having that taught to us for so long made it become something of a fact of life for many. There is also where it came from to be taken into account. It was religion that spread this theory and many different religions are still followed and taken seriously today even if some of their views are sorely outdated. So people believe things like this due to part tradition and part stubbornness and ignorance. It's very sad but very true.

  1. i totally agree with you its not fair to women have to be virgins when they get married and men can do as they please. That's not fair at all. "If she doesn't bleed on her wedding night then she had sex with another man"!!! That's how some countries think its ridiculous.
