Planned Parenthood has been criticized after posting a tweet of a sign reading, “Virginity is a social construct.”
The caption read, “The idea of virginity comes from outdated — let’s be real, patriarchal — ways of thinking that hurts everyone.”
The tweet resulted in widespread condemnation, with several accounts calling Planned Parenthood “groomers.”
One account, Gays Against Groomers, replied to Planned Parenthood:
“Once again Planned Parenthood is gaslighting the youth, this time into thinking virginity doesn’t exist, and that they should throw it away immediately.
“Why? Could it be because virgins aren’t paying customers to Planned Parenthood?
“Stop telling children they are sexual beings, you GROOMERS.”
A similar idea was tweeted by the organization in 2019.
In 2019, Planned Parenthood tweeted, “Idk who needs to hear this but virginity is a made-up social construct, and it has absolutely nothing to do with your hymen.”
Reporting from LifeSite News:
“Funny how an organization named ‘planned parenthood’ (presumably to advocate for people to only become a parent when they plan for it) would tweet something that seems to suggest that abstaining from sex comes from a ‘patriarchal way of thinking that hurts everyone,'” noted Matt Antar, finance chairman of the New York Young Republican Club.
