Oh! That's a great point!

If we look at our resent history, women have been deemed as the "family" nucleus and have been portrayed as such by advertisement from the 1950’s onward.
However, I don't think we can say that women in general have ever been considered as "morally superior", but virgins and mother figures definitely have for reasons that I couldn't possibly discuss here (not enough space xP). Nonetheless, you bring up an excellent point and have given me something to really think about. Thank you! :)
