You know how Elliot Rodger felt so much societal pressure to have his first kiss and lose his virginity? Guess what! That’s the patriarchy that’s putting pressure on kids/young adults/adults to lose their virginity and “BECOME A MAN” or whatever. Patriarchy hurts everyone.

That’s the same patriarchy that puts pressure on girls / young women to “wait until marriage” because your virginity is the greatest thing you have to offer a man. That if you “give it up” and have sex for fun you’re a slut. That if you’re raped it must be because you led him on. That it’s your job to deny sex like a hockey player defending the goal, but when you do that it’s your fault when horny entitled man-children react with anger and violence. And if THAT doesn’t tell you how incredibly fucked up the patriarchy is, I don’t know what will.
