Why does the promotion of Purity Culture, often symbolized as a kind of daughter-father prom where the daughter pledges her virginity to her father until married, only focus on girls, even within Christian communities? While it may not be said outright, being sexually active for boys/men is looked the other way. There is no son-mother dance where he pledges his virginity to his mom. Fornication is considered a sin, but it isn't addressed.
I then wonder, why would a girl want to not be sexually active waiting for a guy who isn't waiting for her to have sex at all?
If the girls are taught purity culture and boys aren't, who are the boys having sex with?
And what message does that teach boys as they become men?
