There will never be a point in which society doesn't have absurd double standards. There will always be people who feel inferior yet have social sway, they will demonize the traits/behaviors they are jealous of/try to scare/shame people into catering to their insecurities (like a guy worried he won't live up to a girl's previous partners so only dating "chaste" women).
On one hand though, "virgin shaming," makes sense in a primitive sort of way. Having sex is generally considered a product of being good looking, charismatic, rich, generally successful in one or more areas of your life and having that be directly confirmed by another person by them having sex with you. It seems a natural jump to use sexual prowess as a form of status as it is confirmation of some other status. Which would mean, lack of that would be a lack of status and so will be ostracized by people uncomfortable with their own perceived station.
I guess then to follow, if everyone wants to have sex for status the game of being better than others gets harder, so why not convince women of the opposite so as to increase competition to preserve your status better?
This isn't a good thing, but it will happen, because many people are insecure and yet hold influence. Personally, so long as some one doesn't carry a disease, I think the more experience the better. If you need a heart transplant, do you want a person who has never held a scalpel or a surgeon who has done a hundred+ procedures?
