    Disagree. I have a vagina, Eve had a vagina, therefore I'm responsible for Original Sin. I say that morality is easiest interpreted by anatomy. #fakehymen

    Upmarket brothels in 18th Century London were notorious for selling the rejuvenated maidenhead of the latest young beauty, fresh from the country, to as many gullible men as possible before the latter cottoned on that the woman in question was not a virgin and therefore did not merit the special financial premium attached to an unbroken hymen. #fakehymen

    @Vivelafat says Sweep the leg, Johnny.: Hell, I was born in the US and my first boyfriend accused me of lying when I didn't bleed our first time (the best part was that the reason I didn't was he had ALREADY broken it when we were fooling around one night but he was drunk and apparently didn't remember/notice) #fakehymen

    @colormeroutine: My friend's ex boyfriend accused her of the same thing and then used that as justification for emotionally shaming her and referring to her as a "whore." All in all, I'm not so sure that American culture has moved that far from associating morality with an in-place hymen. #fakehymen

    @Vivelafat says Sweep the leg, Johnny.: I didn't bleed either. I think it was because there was a ton of foreplay and I was really, ahem, ready for it. Kinda makes you wonder. Do they (meaning the hymen fetishists) INTEND for it to suck for the virginal woman, since they're so intent on having her bleed? God forbid she enjoy it and not have to hemorrhage. #fakehymen

    @Vivelafat says Sweep the leg, Johnny.: Neither did I. Whether this was from years of prior tampon use, falling on the beam in gymnastics a few times or simply being born without one, there was no blood at my deflowering. I don't think that bleeding is as common as people think it is, although obviously there are women who do. It's just such a bizarre standard to measure something by, never mind the absurdity of fetishizing virginity in the first place. #fakehymen

    Oh, Zahi. The bust was removed legally. I can understand wanting to get illegaly removed things back, but it seems like he is more interested in getting everything back. No antiquities for you! How dull the major museums would be if they were only allowed to display items from that one country. People who will never get to Egypt can get to the Met. And if he's that hot and bothered about it, why hasn't he taken on the British Museum? Because he would be squashed like a bug, that's why. #nefertiti

    @heykoukla: That's not what I meant at all. More like he knows it would be a hopeless fight, and he doesn't want to lose, so he doesn't go there. It's especially ironic, since with the British Museum, you can make a really solid case for the illegal removal of some of those items from their home country (see Marbles, Parthenon). #nefertiti

    Zahi Hawass can definitely come off as a blowhard, but if someone doesn't make a big stink over theft of artifacts from Egypt those artifacts will never find their way home. Frankly, Germany needs to get its head out of its ass and return it already. Egypt has been asking for Nefertiti back for years.

    (Speaking as an Egyptian and an archaeologist here, so I admit I'm biased. :p)

    @falenas: I understand the desire to have such artifacts returned, and I think it's horrendous that many if not most Egyptian artifacts were stolen from the country, but I really wish Hawass would go about it another way. It's hard to take him seriously anymore, because he's pulled this stunt so many times and seems to me to care more about hearing himself speak than actually getting them back. #nefertiti
