It seems that [if the religious right on this thread is an indicator] most of the conservatives hold virginity as the only thing that a woman can have to offer to a husband and that once it's gone she is worthless.

This is ridiculous, and you know it. No person has argued this anywhere on this thread. Women have an abundance of wonderful and beautiful attributes to offer men. However, for many, virginity is one of them. Maybe not to you. So, if it's not, you can marry a women who's done the rounds.

One of the many? Somehow I never hear of a man being bothered if his bride has cooked dinner for another man. I don't hear many being bent out of shape if his bride has participated in a debate with another man. "Joe's fiancé is a real "bargain basement girl" because she plays chess in a league with a bunch of men" just isn't something you hear very often. [I used that term 'bargain basement girl' because it is one that was used earlier in the thread by a conservative to describe a non-virgin girl]
