Virgin shaming

Categories: Incelphobia

'''Virgin shaming''' is the practice of shaming [[Virginity|virgins]] for no reason other than the fact that they are virgins. It may be used by some as a form of [[incelphobia]] but this is not always the case, as many virgin shamers like to make fun of virgins but may not know what an [[incel]] is, and more of them love to make fun of virgins even if they do not identify as incels.

Virgin shaming is a tactic commonly used by [[roastie|roasties]], especially in an argument. They love to preach about how [[Slut-shaming|slut shaming]] is bad and [[Misogyny|misogynistic]], and in the same breath make a remark that boils down to “lol you’re a virgin”, indirectly revealing how much they actually value access to [[Copulation|sex]]. 

== Difference in sex ==
While virgin shaming is commonly used against men, calling women a virgin isn't seen as an insult but more as a sign of purity or other positively connotated attributes ([[Just be Women Theory|Just Be Women Theory]]).
