Why virginity of male is not important?vice versa (evolutional reason of female virginity)?

Question

Virginity for females (as everyone knows) is very simple and quick to be proved just because of their anatomy created via evolution.
What was the positive point of this for human race?

Please answer this question after ignoring your idea about feminism, I just need scientific answers or ideas.

My question was about finding a reason for existance of hymen in females, I asked this question also in the field of biology and one of those answered my question in one word: "protection"
I searched and found that only female mamals have hymen. Birds, Snakes, Fish, ... don't need any protection for their vegina (biological reason mostly is Sphincteral protection). But I found somthing else on Women's Studies. Virginity, made by men and believed by women, is the edge of feminism. Just culturaly a thin membrane controls woman's behavior and man's jogment, I think this must be changed.
Thanks for your answers

Answer 1

Since men had control of most of the resources at one time they wanted to be sure that these valuables were passed on to only their offspring. Virginity meant that there was no paternal uncertainty and males began feeling that they own women. This lead to women being objectified as they are today. This is also the reason behind female genital mutilation, harems etc. These were ways that men felt they could use to control women's sexuality for their own pleasure and procreation. Today we have men trying to control women by other means but that is a different question.

Answer 2

I think, if anything, the idea is that a female knows her kids are hers but a male can never really be sure if his kids are his - he has to trust what the mother of 'his' kids says.

The hymen was in a way, 'proof' that if a couple has sex now and a kid results from the act, it must be the man's kid. Of course, a broken hymen doesn't mean a girl is not a virgin nor does an unbroken hymen mean she is. However, it was the basis for 'proof' back in the day - right or wrong.

I also think that today, with genetic testing, its a ridiculous argument that has past its time. Its not important if a woman is a virgin or not, what is important is that actual genetic parents of a child are held to their responsibilities. I don't think virginity is relevant at all today, but old habits do die hard so....

Just one of those things that whether effective or not had a rational. Today, the same rational just doesn't fly when there are far better ways to be sure.

Frankly, I think genetic testing should be law after child birth. If only to ensure the correct father is held accountable as a parent without having to bring the issue of doubt or mistrust into the picture. Men don't have to blindly trust their wives and women don't have to feel mistrusted by their husbands - neither asked, its mandated by law - better be sure you can deal with the results - whatever they are - because the test is going to be taken regardless.

There are plenty of cases of the mailman's kids being raised by another man who is married to the mother. Sucks for the mother's husband and for the mailman's wife, but, it does happen. Why not remove that potential and make parenthood for BOTH parents as certain and obvious as it has always been for mothers?

Also, wouldn't mothers (and fathers) like to be sure that when they bring their newborn home that there hasn't been a switch between children, whether intentional or accidental, at the hospital? That kind of thing has also been known to happen, extremely rare, but possible non-the-less.

Wouldn't that be a good example of equality now that biological science can provide the means to achieve it by using inarguable fact rather than arguable trust? Is there any argument against that that doesn't have a sexist rational? Aren't we all trying to end sexism after all which means removing gender differences, one of which is inherent biological certainty vs. uncertainty when it comes to parenthood between the genders?

Answer 3

Generally, the Reason has to do with 'purity' of and the sanctity of marriage ~ and negating the possibility of the Virgin having been impregnated by the seed of someone other than the husband. It has to do with legitimacy of the heir to the family money / the family name/ the business / the throne and keeping the bloodline safe etc ....and to KNOW that there is NOT a cuckoo in the nest. Likewise, the virgin cannot be harbouring any diseases of the sexual kind that could damage the husband / head of the house / lord / King or whoever. In the past, it was possible to demonstrate virginity of a woman, for the the reasons stated above. When it comes to the male, it has never possible to do so. Other reasons are likely a mix of personally subjective ones. Sash.

Answer 4

Oh, social science! Only Justin gave an answer that was not incoherent. Naturally, paternity is the issue for men and social science ideological BS about " paternalism " and " property is not going to change the fact that a women is sure of maternity, but a man is not always sure of paternity. Why spend valuable resources raising some one elses child? Things in the proximate sense are different now, but we evolved in an era that put premiums on reproductive assurance. The positive effects of this were the propagation of the genes who were paternally sure. We still see this ultimate effect in our proximate society of today. To ignore ultimate reasons for behavior is to break the causal chain between the past and we of today. A typical mistake of the social science and humanities analysis of human behavior.

PS Most of these answers posited the EFFECTS of the ultimate behavior, that is paternalism and women being treated as property, not the CAUSE. This is why we scientist look at social science askance.

Answer 5

There are is no evaluational reasons for female virginity.

From the stand point that God created the man and the woman. The hymen is a sign of purity of the women. But, from God's stand point the male and female virginity are equally important.
I do not entirely understand why the woman was created with a hymen, that was the way she was made.
Remember in the Bible God said, "a man must leave his mother and cleave to his wife". So, the same must go to the woman to that she must cleave to her husband.
When man sinned in the garden he did not just eat a fruit from a tree. He broke the direct relationship he had with his Creator.
It was never intended for sex to be as ramp-id as it is today between unmarried people.
I know all through the Bible there are instances of adultery and fornication.
They chose to do that against the intentions of God. Even though god did not condone it.
Today in Texas they passed a law to immunizing girls 6 years old and above for cervical cancer because it is at epidemic stages, other states may follow.
Why is cervical cancer so ramp-id?. They stated because of young girls and women having premarital sex with a variety of partners.
Evolution tries to explain away the bible and it's truth which it never will.
Women were never intended to sexually have many numerous partner. and neither were the men.
In the new testement were man has the opertunity to restore his relationship with God. It says the Bishop is to be the husband of one wife.

Answer 6

While it may be simple and quick, it isn't always accurate. There are many things that can break the hymen before intercourse. Riding horses, riding bikes, being athletic, trauma to that area, and such. If I had been tested for virginity while I was a teen, they would have thought that I wasn't one, even though I didn't have sex until I was 18. I started horseback riding at 10, so I had pretty much lost my hymen way before my first time.

Hey Baba, my list has what I knew. I wasn't sure about tampons, so I didn't include it. But thanks for pointing it out:)

Answer 7

Positive Point? There isn't one. Long ago, it was almost impossible for a woman to get married if she was not a virgin, but in those days women were seen mostly as property, and noone wanted damaged goods. In fact besides being a virgin, a bride was expected to bring a dowery, (The family would basically pay you to marry her) and men would seek women of high station so that the dowery would be larger, but again, if she weren't a virgin, the dowery would have to be excessive. So the only importance of virginity was to be able to marry a daughter off and possibly profit by it if she managed to marry into a well to do family. the importance of feminine virginity was never one of benifit to humanity, but more an easy means to subjugate women.

Answer 8

Women and others were originally property in brutal primitive early human groups. In early activities of power acquisition and hording, the sexual "use" of a woman was reserved for whomever "owned" her. Not for a very long time did humans connect sex with reproduction. But, the children of the female "property" of a man belonged to him, too, to do with as he wished, including, killing them, raping them and eating them. We rose a bit from those foul times in the learning curve to learn cause and effect. It was noticed that some diseases spread through sexual contact and, thus, elaborate customs, taboos and laws, including marriage, arose that restricted sexual promiscuity. During those days, virginity, or "unused goods", became important. Many of those concepts of "purity" became ingrained in our religions and cultures. Male virginity was not as important because it did not matter if women sickened and died. They were property and there were many many more women than men, due to the hardships of hunting and an ice age. Men got to do the choosing. And, they wanted their women fresh.

Answer 9

This is EASY to answer if you go back to the source of it all... THE BIBLE.

Women was made for man and not the man for the woman! G*d had man in mind here, thus he created the hymen to prove to him in marriage he was not getting "damaged" goods.

Something brand new and "special". Sort of like that Red Ferrari after you made your "billions" say???

YEP! Brand new pu**y! What better thing can a man ask for... after that Red Ferrari, huh?

Answer 10

Its the double standard created by society and the media that the guy should go out and bang as many broads as he can while the girl stays a virgin and a "nice girl"
