This whole tradition – the idea that women need be preserved in glass so as not to ‘ruin’ themselves, lest they diminish their sexual value by ‘giving it away’ –restricts the lived autonomy of women in ways I can’t even begin to articulate. None of the slut-shaming makes sense unless you assume women live to give themselves to men in their purest possible form.
