A daughter’s maquis service nullified paternal demands for virginity

Evidence

This silence did not betray a lack of interest or a resignation with respect to yesterday’s demand of virginity. It was rather because the father could gauge the immense step taken by society, and these questions that were still present to his mind revealed themselves to be inappropriate and irrelevant. The Algerian girl who was emerging into the agitated arena of history was inviting her father to undergo a kind of mutation, to wrench himself free of himself. To ask of a woman who was daily risking her life whether she was “serious” became grotesque and absurd. The militant girl, in adopting new patterns of conduct, could not be judged by traditional standards. Old values, sterile and infantile phobias disappeared. — Frantz Fanon, A Dying Colonialism, 369 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
