What does statutory rape have to do with virginity? Very interesting edit of this passage from Wikipedia by the way. Here’s the full passage on what some sex-positive feminists believe about statutory rape according to your link from Wikipedia:
There is debate among sex-positive feminists about whether statutory rape laws are a form of sexism.[41] As illustrated by the controversy over “The Little Coochie Snorcher that Could” from the Vagina Monologues, some sex-positive feminists do not consider all consensual activity between young adolescents and older people as inherently harmful. There has been debate among feminists about whether statutory rape laws benefit or harm teenage girls and about whether the gender of participants should influence the law’s treatment of sexual encounters.[41] Some sex-positive feminists argue that statutory rape laws were made with non-gender neutral intentions and are presently enforced as such, with the assumption that teenage girls are naive, nonsexual, and in need of protection.
Sex-positive feminists with this view believe that “teen girls and boys are equally capable of making informed choices in regard to their sexuality”[42] and that statutory rape laws are actually meant to protect “good girls” from sex. Other feminists are opposed or ambivalent about strengthening statutory rape statutes because these preclude young women from entering consensual sexual relationships, even if competent to consent.[43]
These feminists view statutory rape laws as more controlling than protective – and of course part of the law’s historic role was protecting the female’s chastity as valuable property. One writer also noted that, at that time, in some states, the previous sexual experience of a teenager could be used as a defense by one accused of statutory rape. She argued that this showed that the laws were intended to protect chastity rather than consent.
