그 진실을 알고 있었죠.
continue to make life difficult
힘들게 만들고 있습니다.
The first myth is about blood.
미신은 출혈에 관한 것입니다.
breaks and bleeds
on the sheets afterwards,
그 여성은 처녀가 아니라는 뜻이 되죠.
consequence of the first.
논리적인 결론인데요.
to break and bleed,
피가 난다고 믿었기에,
that it actually disappears
없어진다고 믿었습니다.
during a woman's first intercourse.
그 형태가 바뀐다고 생각했죠.
if a woman is a virgin or not
쉽게 가려낼 수 있을 겁니다.
like a minor issue to you.
분도 계실 거예요.
on the female body?
신경써야 하냐고 묻겠죠?
this is about so much more
해부학적 오해 이상의

수 세기를 걸쳐 존재해왔습니다.
religion and historical decade.
공통적으로 말이죠.
subjected to honor killings
죽임까지 당하고 있습니다.
on their wedding night.
피를 보이지 않는다면 말이죠.
through degrading virginity checks,
처녀성 검사를 강요당하기도 합니다.
to enter military service.
조직적인 검사를 거쳐야 합니다.
to undergo virginity checks
군대에 의해 행해지는
the hymens of young girls
어린 소녀의 처녀막 검사를 합니다.
that their children are not ruined.
부모에게 확인시켜주기 위해서죠.
the myths about the hymen
부응해야 한다는 두려움때문에
different virginity quick fixes
보여주려 하기도 합니다.
poured on the sheets after sex
몰래 흘려놓을 수도 있고
dark secret goodbye."
숨기며 사는 거죠.
that no deed can be kept secret,
will reveal them no matter what,
얘기해줄 거라고 말하면서
겁먹게 만들었습니다.
두려워하고 있습니다.
and their freedoms.
자유를 빼앗아 왔습니다.
to the virginity fraud.
멈추어야 합니다.
about the hymen
완전히 없애야 할 때입니다.
of "The Wonder Down Under."
책을 내기도 했습니다.
about the female genitals.
유명한 과학 서적입니다.
people seem to believe
막이라고 잘못 알고 있는 것 같습니다.
covering the vaginal opening.
"the virgin membrane."
'순결의 막'이라고 부르기도 하죠.
we picture something fragile,
얇은 막을 상상하게 됩니다.
연상하게 됩니다.
why we brought a hula hoop onstage today.
가지고 왔는지 궁금하실 겁니다.
to this hoop, right?
before and after I punched it.
on this hoop right here,
처녀성 검사를 하겠다면
is not a virgin anymore.
쉽게 말할 수 있을 겁니다.
is nothing like a piece of plastic
음식을 덮어두는
at the outer opening of the vagina.
둘러있는 세포 조직입니다.
or a half-moon shape
naturally vary a lot in looks,
다양한 형태를 띄고 있습니다.
to do a virginity check.
처녀성 확인은 거의 불가능하죠.
about the hymen's anatomy,
조금 더 알게 됐으니
다시 얘기해보겠습니다.
have to break at all.
찢어지는 것이 아닙니다.
in function as well as in looks.
머리끈과 비슷합니다.
to handle a vaginal intercourse
처녀막에 손상이 없을 정도로
to make room for the penis,
처녀막이 조금 찢어지는 경우는 있죠.
a bit different from before.
that you can't examine the hymen
were reminiscent of a teenage virgin.
다를 바 없다는 결론을 내렸습니다.
was never damaged during sex,
처녀막이 손상되지 않았다면
in every shape and form,
다양하기 때문에
because of previous damage
anatomical variant.
원인을 알 수 없습니다.
done on 36 pregnant teenagers.
연구 결과에서도 나타납니다.
clear signs of penetration
in 34 cases of virgin births --
has taken a vital blow.
거짓임을 인정해야겠죠.
between her legs
판단할 수는 없습니다.
the myths about the hymen are untrue.
처녀막에 대한 미신도 거짓입니다.
that magically disappears after sex,
존재하지 않습니다.
can easily have sex without bleeding.
성관계 후에 출혈을 보이지 않습니다.
that by removing these myths,
would all just disappear.
모두 사라지길 바랍니다.
comes from something much deeper
더 심각한 이유가 있으니까요.
about the properties of the hymen.
몰랐다는 것 이상의 문제가 있습니다.
control of women's sexuality.
여성성을 구속한다는 것입니다.
this is our contribution.
저희가 할 일입니다.
and [future] husband to know
그리고 미래의 남편들이
제대로 이해하게 되길 바랍니다.
as a proof of virginity.
깨닫게 되길 바랍니다.
one of the most powerful tools
구속하는 가장 치명적인 수단은
있을지 궁금하실 겁니다.
as a proof of virginity for women,

that question is her choice.
그녀의 선택에 달려있습니다.
