The moment any girl learns about sex in India, the first thing she learns about is not that sex is a pleasurable act but that she has this thin(-ly veiled in misogyny) tissue inside her pussy that, all of a sudden, the world has ownership on and that she must protect this tissue at the risk of dishonoring her family. Apart from an antiquated cultural expectation, the reality is this discussion still comes up today - sneeringly asked by classmates, discussed amongst boys & girls and the peer pressure and shame around virginity that still very much exists. The guilt around being a sexually liberated woman and the guilt around virginity is proportionally the same. There's no win - win for women, it's always a lose-lose. The fact that in 2021, this will still happen makes me wonder where is it that we're going wrong?
