If women want to end this nonsense, the best thing they can do is gift their daughters their own virginity instead of passively accepting this narrative that it’s a precious gift to give a man.

For my daughter’s sweet 16, I gave her a monetary gift card and some literature and erotic shopping websites to buy herself some sex toys. That way she can slowly stretch out her hymen herself, learn what’s pleasing and what’s not, etc. Her first experience with a boy will not be full of awkwardness (for her) an fear of pain.
