(52,103 posts)38. I seriously don't understand your confusion.
There are several reasons why that word is appropriate. First, it was a girl's school. And very young girls. The school was even described as a Kindergarten school. To emphasize that fact, virgens suggests innocence in its purest form.
Also the word should hit between the eyes of even white conservative men, since they can relate to the loss since the feeling of paternal protection is the strongest with their daughters.
And do you think I'm slighting boys? Well, I don't think the impact would be felt as strong with the white conservatives who will quickly rationalize the loss if it was young boys, since they grow up to be soldiers. That's how they would see it.

Patriarchy is madness. This "we are the one and only true religion" lie has to be exposed as a lie.
