Why Are Women Expected to be the Gatekeepers of Virginity?

Fools find no pleasure in understanding but delight in airing their own opinions (Proverbs 18:2).

I get where you're coming from, but just logically speaking if a woman gets pregnant, who is in direct control and responsibility of the child? Only the woman can choose to abort or keep the baby. In 90% of cases, the woman will have custody of the children. She's the one who will carry that child and go through a ridiculously painful birthing process if she decides to keep it, and she's the one who will live with the trauma of knowing she murdered her child if she decides to abort it. Women risk a lot more than men do by being promiscuous. And not only that, but promiscuity has become so commonplace and rampant, to the point where it is making a huge negative impact on our country.

That is a BIG deal. That is not okay. Ultimately, in this day and age it is women who set national standards for men, not men. Women decide what kind of man is acceptable in society, and those men teach their sons to be like them - whether they are present in the son's lives or not.

Ah me thanking God I didn’t marry my ex is a complaint? Here I thought I was praising the Lord for closing a door. He married someone who is definitely a better match for him. I married someone who is definitely a better match for me.

I understand what you are saying about where society has taken us, and the standards it has set as far as gender roles and expectations.

I just always wonder what God originally intended, and how He would want to see things changed today if people were willing.

I truly believe it would be vastly different from what society sets at any given time.

I believe in God's eyes, fornication is equally vile and evil regardless of gender. However, so many women these days are now also guilty of shedding innocent blood in addition to their fornication, and that is about as bad a combo as you can get. In the Bible, He literally swears to Himself that He will destroy the house of those who shed innocent blood, which I do believe is what is happening with the deterioration of the family unit.

For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart (Hebrews 4:12).

He's gone. Even if he sticks around and reads threads, he can't reply.

He's dead Jim.

Commas, Man! Commas!

Is he Jim who is dead? or...

Feminists say they want empowerment, God hands it to them in the form of this, and the feminists be like ... Naw thanks.

Like seriously, God/nature/evolution/natural law, however you want to frame it, has handed women the ultimate empowerment, and it gets tossed aside by so many. Do feminists really want empowerment? How about using what God/nature/evolution handed you.

To be honest, I would actually like to encourage anyone who felt I called Mindfulzen and/or God a racist in my posts to go ahead and report it, because I'd like to know if I really came across that way.

If enough reports were made, I would trust a mod to contact me and tell me that I really did sound like I was calling both him and God racists.

I would want to know if I was wording things so drastically wrong, that it really came across to the good majority of the readers as being what I said.

But I truly believe that most of the readers will understand what I was actually saying.

However, I am willing to be proved wrong.
