We haven't gotten very far from the Victorian age when young men were expected to "sow their wild oats" before marriage and women were divided as "good" girls who were virgins when then married or others (who were spoken of only in whispers).

Kathy,
Are you a vicar? I notice you mention a new call. English is not my first language.
If so, good for you! I wish I had your ease about this stigma we are all talking about here. I donīt. I had to work twice as hard to suceed in a very male dominated academic career and I accepted that. Itīs just reality.
While reading your story, I noticed you have faith. It must help you a lot. Iīm a mixture of many beliefs and I believe in a Higher Power, but I donīt go to church and have no such support. My AA group is closed and we donīt do Bible studies. I do love theology though and love to mix with the professors in theology now and again. I teach art and philosophy.
Love,
Liliana
