What author Valerie Tarico [Email her] is saying is that the horrible message of the Virgin Birth is that virginity is a good thing. (Also, men who want to be sure of the paternity of their children are evil—after all, according to St. Matthew's Gospel, St. Joseph, before the angel appeared to him, was "was minded to put her away".)
Tarrico's original title, when the article was published on Alternet, was
