repeat after me:
• virginity is a social construct
• you don’t lose your virginity
• there’s nothing valuable or precious about virginity, it’s an imaginary concept
• virginity is inherently heterocentric
• your worth is not defined by weather or not you’ve had a dick inside you
• what you define as sex is up to you, you get to decide how many people you’ve had sex with
• the end
If only more people were like this
It isn’t up to anyone but you!
Uh, you don’t get to decide how many people you’ve had sex with… There are gray areas for sure, but you can’t have a child and say you haven’t had sex.
Sure you can as there is such a thing as artificial insemination. Though I do agree with your actual point.
There is also adoption but that’s just picking at the example and ignoring the point. I agree with everything else the meme is saying, but you can’t just sleep around and say you’re a virgin or the flip of that and claim you’ve had sex. I can’t claim I’ve had sex with Aubrey Plaza and make it true just because that’s what I choose. It’s just a silly thing to even consider.
Huh.
I’ve not thought about it that way, but it makes a ton of sense.
Also never thought about it as heterocentric.
