“Women demand men have houses and cars, why can’t men demand women be virgins?” asked one man on the Tianya site. “So, greedy women, remember, you have to protect your hymens, because those are big dowries for you to exchange for money.”
Hard to argue with this

Considering the degree to which women are limited in China, those guys are getting pretty cocky...

The houses/money/status/whatever will last a lot longer than a hymen. It’s gone forever after the wedding night.

“a deeply conservative and chauvinistic attitude persists”
I see, the desire to marry a virgin is both deeply conservative AND chauvinistic now.
Boy, was I a big jerk, I guess.

I have to laugh whenever the stereotype of the weak, demure little Asian is trotted out ... some are, but some are vicious and cunning enough to scare the pants off Machiavelli.

Maybe Madonna can remake her song, “Like A Virgin” into “Like A Fake Virgin”.

Yes, there should not be a double standard.
The article seems to assume that the men who want a virgin wife are not virgins themselves. How do they know?

Because most cultures don’t demand that men remain virgins until marriage like they do for women.
