    This week, the U.N. called for a global ban on virginity testing. The test is administered for a variety of reasons: to determine whether a woman can go to school, get married, get a job –– or if she was a victim of rape.https://n.pr/2ytZhPH

        Why are so many punitive laws always put on women? So tired of that.

        Who in the UN called for this ban ? Hymen Raged ? Talk about sex abuse? Seems every third world country has some crazy woman abusive custom. Here they are free to become man haters presently called feminists, hey , I'm merely quoting Ann Coulter ! Stop !

        These so-called tests are barbaric superstition. Enlightened Islamic leaders should condemn them as satanic, which they are.

        totally mind numbing. to say that is an embarrassment for these girls, must be a massive understatement. to have those who are determined to no longer virgins put in jail, well I just don't know what else to say.
