I remember at the time of the engagement announcement for Princess Diana in England the
crown announced that Diana had been medically examined and determined to be fertile and
virginal.  That offended me, reinforcing all the property stereotypes their culture was
enforcing.

Because a man cannot be "despoiled" by sexual intercourse.
