Argument A) Women have more at stake for both valuing virginity and the social constructs created by this value. Women in society are taught, usually by their mothers, that virginity is important and that they should be very careful not to give it to the wrong guy. ...
and the reason why mothers tell their daughters that is because there are only deragatory terms for promiscious women, and not men. who made up those rules, do you think?
to this day it is up to the woman to say NO, because clearly men are animals that cannot control themselves. [/sarcasm]
So since women value virginity more than men we are concerned that her feelings over losing it will make it a big deal, it's not that guys believe the sex is so amazing she's going to lose her mind. That's like saying a Hindu would have an emotional reaction to eating beef because Christians make amazing hamburgers.
women value their virginity because society values it. that's really the only reason- once society stops having double standards WRT female sexuality noone but the religious people will care.
