Rewarding virgin women creates prejudice: iLIVE

I am enraged by the #virginawards.

They are ridiculous and sexist. The founder has five children with four women but want girls to refrain from sex?

All of his children that he has fathered are out of wedlock and he is only 29 years old.

Being a fellow 29 year old who has managed to have no children to date, what gives him the authority to judge women's sexual behaviour by rewarding what he considers to be ‘proper’?

Encouraging girls to keep virginity whilst saying nothing to the boys?

How do the virgin awards help society? Paying girls to keep their virginity? How does that impact self esteem of rape victims? How is this solution to teen pregnancy, spread of sexually transmitted diseases or rape?

We're teaching girls that they cannot be sexual beings in the way that boys are. The question that I have is: Does a female who enjoys her sexuality have lesser value than one who suppresses it?

The ‘virginity award’ creates prejudice and encourages objectification.

I am horrified by the fact that the Department of Social Welfare registered this irresponsible organisation as an NPO.
