MRA Group Searches For 'Beautiful Virgin' Brides With Intact Hymens

Not The Onion!!

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/no-hymen-no-diamond-group-searches-for-beautiful-virgin-brides-wtf_560558e1e4b0dd85030730a9

That's the logic behind a Facebook page called "No Hymen No Diamond," which encourages men to put a ring on it only if the woman in question is still a virgin. Ladies, don't these dudes sound like real marriage material?

The men's rights activist (MRA) community of more than 1,100 users shames women for embracing their sexuality and cautions helpless men against marrying ladies who dare to... do pretty much anything with their bodies that the same men declare untoward. The group shares posts with the charming hashtags #NoHymenNoDiamond and #PoppedCherryDontMarry. ...

In one of the most disturbing interactions on the page, a moderator behind "No Hymen No Diamond" replied to a comment with a statistic about women fantasizing about rape, and explained that it meant "the majority of women can't be raped." (Spoiler alert: Rape fantasies don't preclude the existence of rape. They are two very, very, very different things.)

According to The Daily Dot, the phrase "No Hymen No Diamond" may have been created with the intent of trolling, but has since expanded. In a post from May 24th, the group acknowledged that it was aware women found the page offensive, but made it clear the group's views would remain unchanged. "Maybe you should have done the smart thing and kept those thunder thighs closed until marriage!" reads the post. (See below.)

Because it could not possibly be from a liberal western democracy like the United States of America.

They have to pretend the reason they won't ever be married is that they can't find virgins, and not because no one wants to marry them.

But caps on MRA. Does the slogan as posted come from a formal group? Does it have a name? Is it part of a larger "MRA" group which is named MRA? I'm trying to get a handle on this organization, and how it may differ (if at all) from more formal organizations.

They're Male Superiority Asshats. They want their wives and daughters to render blind, unquestioning obedience to "God-ordained Male Authority." Well, women don't need your "God-ordained" permission to think and act for themselves.

It's staggering that there are people that still want to be virgins when they marry.

And to save time in real-life dating, always be sure to ask everyone that important question before you decide to try to get the phone number!

Uncertain about how to begin? You can explain first that you are trying to save money on condoms
