To all the virgins of the world...thanks for nothing.
Good for you.
I had an employee named Virginia.
She said it was Virgin for short,
but not for long.
I always told my daughters that they don’t want the baggage later in life that comes with multiple partners and relationships. I tell them still to guard their naivete. It is a gift from Almighty God and you can never get it back.
Guys lie abut getting laid in high school ( think Kavanaugh ) and gals lie about being virgins through all of their high school years. Face it, it is so easy for gals to get some. It is the way of life.
After reading your wonderful statement and many of the comments of readers here, I wondered how much this has to do with George Soros. So here is a LIST of all the crap he is involved in @ https://oathkeepers.org/2017/02/organizations-funded-directly-george-soros-open-society-foundations/
Includes: NOW, ACLU,many immigration (open borders) groups. Someone needs to investigate this SOB.
It is...for the lower animals. And those easy lib chix.
Many men may screw sluts. Very few good men will marry them. Same goes for men who have loose morals. Good women won’t marry those men, either.
1. I congratulate you and your husband on your marriage and your children.
2. Notice that Virgin = Female in our culture - secular or ecclesiastical. What of male virgins?
I have pursued the Word since age five. I have served in lay ministry, and on church staff, in two denominations. Groomed by theologians from age sixteen, I finally balked at attending seminary when I realized how Marxist in teaching (e.g., Frankfurt School Higher Criticism) they had become.
I have never been a bad boy or a success object, so none of the ostensibly spiritual church girls I knew wanted me as a husband - although many of them valued me as a friend and mentor. I was told by several women that I was the most honorable man they had ever known - and yet they wouldn’t date me.
My unwilling choice was to remain chaste and celibate. I have since then distanced myself from most church girls who used me as a surrogate for their emotional needs; some of them are now on their second or third marriage.
When crises arose in these congregations - heresy from the pulpit, long-term spousal abuse - it was I, the non-macho decent guy who never got drunk or swore, who waged a lonely campaign against the corruption. All the much-heralded tough guys, the real men, the jocks, the cops, the husbands, the leaders, were nowhere to be found. They were selfish cowards who refused to take a moral or spiritual stand.
I was formally denounced by the Elders for Scripturally exposing the heresy at the first church. The man whose position of authority in that church I later questioned (unrelated to the heresy), based on his apparent backsliding, eventually was murdered in broad daylight by a jealous husband. The clergy denied any responsibility, although it was a publicized regional scandal. I was no hope there, so I left.
At the second church, I spent two years on the inside imploring my superiors to act on the spousal abuse I learned was taking place, involving a man who occasionally was invited to read the Scriptures in morning worship. Finally, fearing the wife’s suicide, I hired an attorney, delineated all I knew in a 132-page document, and sent copies to all clergy and deacons. At least the woman did not commit suicide, and eventually left the husband, who had also committed adultery. My ministry - such as it was - was over.
I am a male virgin, and there is not a single congregation in the land that celebrates my kind. (Catholic Priests do not count here.) I am considered anomalous, embarassing, or irrelevant. A man like me is ignored out of existence.
I finally figured it out: A character on a t.v. show said, “No one celebrates what didn’t happen.”
I never deflowered a young girl. I never impregnated a woman out of wedlock. I never bragged about my many female conquests like so many of the good ol’ regular guys in the church.
And no one in the church cares. But if I were a Prodigal Son who told in his salacious testimony of seducing and defiling scores of women, and then meeting Christ and repenting, then - then - I would be celebrated.
The contempt I now feel for Churchianity and its depraved mores is beyond articulation. Homoerotic males receive far more sympathy, compassion, and respect in today’s institutionalized church than a genuinely chaste male.
I was no hope... = I saw no hope...
I hear you both. The current crop of young women in post-Christian America is horrifying. Mine are older than yours, and among myself and my women friends, there have been several wrecked marriages and trashed engagements that have broken our sons’ hearts because the women were unfaithful, many within months of the large, expensive engagements or weddings. These “have it all" feminism-tainted college women met someone else at work or online...
I notice from watching the Duggars on tv that they appear to have a network of other families with similar values regarding virginity, courtship and marriage. I am not a fan of the Duggar parents’ personalities, and it’s clear they had a problem of naivete with their oldest son, but for what it’s worth...
Maybe there are homeschool associations near where you live that would have promising young girls and boys coming up, and you could have family get-togethers with their families. Just a thought... You also might explore whether your church can find good study units for young teenagers to prepare them for marriage, since they start being sexualized by the culture even younger than that. Any way to start them off with at least a textbook idea of the issues, in addition to your good example.
Megan, your essay is just wonderful. May God bless your family profoundly.
Stand tall. You sound like a warrior to me...............
Ping! You may really like this essay.
My son met and dated another homeschooling girl.
Bright intelligent,with a great future and a wish to courtship.
Went to a private catholic school, when her desire to be in the world crashed into her family values. She decided to go into the world bigly. She wanted a family and home life, but wanted work in international law in Washington. She wanted my son to be a leader, and at the same time dictated when and where they were going to live and that he would quit his job and follow her, with out a wedding.
He refused because he wanted to discuss it with her. Now she has him in court for harassment, and her father, a big deal, has been harassing our family and threatened me with arrest, fortunately the officer involved, realized the situation and stepped down.
Never do I recommend one of those nice Christian girls to him. I tell him to go East. He would if he wasn’t so partial to blondes.
Yep. I told my son that when he is married with kids, he doesn’t want some ex-girlfriend running into him while he’s out with the family or calling or texting, drunk and crying, wishing she had never broken up with him years ago...
I do not understand what you mean by that. Washington DC is in the east. Where is the starting point?

Well stated, Megan!
