What’s up with supernatural teen Heroines being vigins?
what was up with Hope being a virgin until the 4th & final season? She’s the main character & the most powerful badass yet she doesn’t get to have sex until she’s 18. & then she loses her virginity & it causes her bf to die so it’s the 1 & only time she has sex as a human! It feels like slut shaming to me. How she waited so long to finally lose her virginity, dating Landon for over a year before having sex & then as soon as she has sex there’s horrible consequences involving the guy she loves. When she finally gets Landon back they continue dating but can’t have sex ever again. It reminded me of a couple other tv shows, Buffy the vampire slayer & Sabrina the newest Netflix version of that show. Supernatural teen female main character is a virgin for a long time & when she finally has sex with the love of her life, horrible consequences happen.
I’m just wondering is there like a reason for this plot line in these shows? Why do they have to make such a big deal about virginity & having sex? I can’t help but think if hopes character was male then there wouldn’t be such an emphasis on virginity & consequences after sex. Also all the adults in his life wouldn’t be so concerned about his ability to have children. Alaric mentioned that when hope was only 16-17. Also just cuz you can’t carry a baby that’s biologically yours in your uterus doesn’t mean you can’t be mother, have children or have a family. There’s adoption, surrogates, foster families, etc. ok I’m done sorry for the long post
