Why are their "Purity Balls" where girls pledge their virginity to their fathers? Why isn't it boys pledging their virginity to their mothers? Why do girls always wear the chastity rings? Why are boys practically expected to have sex while if girls do it makes her a slut?

This is another reason why the religions of the day are off kilter. It was men who wrote the books that the christians and muslims consider sacred. And, apparently, the god of those religions is not really a fair god. Of course, someone else will tell you that is just the way it is and men are supposed to be just as chaste. I ain't buying that pig in a poke. There is actually no reward for chastity, we are mammals and sex is a necessity. Without this avenue, abherent behavior can develop, that is why lots of sexual deviations are committed by religious people. Every day I realize I am glad I got away from Abrahamic belief structures.

Because woman's nature is elegant, sensitive
She has to have someone who really takes care of her and her child rather than his temporary enjoyment.
Girls are the mothers of new generation, and mother figure for a child is beyond a sex machine or some kind of nomad.
Moral quality in life gives pleasure hundred times more than fornication.

Because the sharp and painful reality of life is that men will always try and get you to have sex. It's up to the women to say no.

Plenty of young men take this vow as well. You are correct society has not traditionally been equal in this. However there are young men of character out there and there always has been. Look hard and you will find one.

Because Christianity oppresses women - much like Islam does in other parts of the world.

It seems like a perversion doesn't it- almost as if the father wants to save her for himself.

Because religion is sexist.
What? Don't thumbs down me unless you're OK with wearing a face covering and being stoned to death for infidelity... And that's just ONE example in ONE sect...

Because religion often fails to see people as individules, but rather as a whole.
