A man sparked debate by calling out the hypocrisy of men who insist on marrying virgins while freely sleeping with the women they date, as though a woman’s history disappears once a relationship ends. Among the reactions, one comment stood out: “Man is future determined. Woman is past determined.” This statement is deeply problematic. It suggests that a man is judged by his potential and growth, while a woman is permanently defined by her past. Such thinking reinforces unequal moral standards and denies women the same capacity for change and accountability that men are afforded. Healthy relationships cannot be built on selective morality. Both men and women are shaped by their past choices and future intentions. Applying different rules based on gender is not tradition—it is injustice.
