Original Note:
Nowadays virginity doesn't refer only to women https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/virginity Originally ‘virgin’ refered to a woman or a goddess who was ‘independent’ and ‘autonomous’ and not attached or owned by any man. It was much later that the term ‘virgin’ came to be applied solely to sexual virginity. https://www.google.com/amp/s/timesofindia.indiatimes.com/blogs/voices/history-and-verity-of-virginity/ https://www.sbs.com.au/voices/article/is-it-time-to-reclaim-the-word-virgin-to-its-original-meaning/rmzn1aau4
