This is the question that Marilyn Frye seeks to answer in her essay “Willful Virgin or Do you have to be a lesbian to be a Feminist." In this essay, I will argue why I believe Frye's theory is plausible and important to the feminist movement. However, I will raise an objection that I do find to be problematic in her paper. Nonetheless, Frye's theory should still not be rejected due to…

half of people that leave high school are virgins. In the light of this virgin majority, why does our culture make talking about virginity so difficult? As an avid console gamer, there are so many occasions when I go into Call of Duty lobbies and hear an older guy call another boy a virgin. This is an example of the animosity for being a virgin.

Al-Shaykh’s The Keeper Of The Virgins is an excellent story. The opening line: “ One of the women wondered aloud if he was a dwarf in every way.” was attention grabbing. Immediately, it piqued my interest. Who are these women? Is this man an actual dwarf? Is he a dwarf in every way? This was an impressive way to open the short story. In a few short pages, Al-Shaykh gave brief background information with very little unnecessary information. The Keeper Of The Virgins story was…

Throughout the Old Testament, there are prophecies concerning the Identity of the coming messiah. The combination of all these conditions established how the people would recognize the King, but it also made it so only one could ever fit the role perfectly. One of the conditions the coming messiah had to fit was that he had to be from the tribe of Judah.
