actually, depending on how you look at it, their handwriting is _more_ varied than anyone else's. Handwriting researchers have shown that secondary handwriting characteristics start becoming invariant only after losing your virginity. You will find the same thing in the writings of _some_ Catholic saints, but of course not all.
The writing looks like it's all the same, but really this is because all the characteristics that handwriting science can measure are constantly changing on an incredibly small scale---between and sometimes even within single letters. For example, you'll notice that girls who are virgins do not always write the same kind of 'a'. ex.:
If you examine their work carefully, you can sometimes see particularly enlightening examples where the virgin started forming one 'a', then switched to the other mid-character.
The end result is an undifferentiated sort of ``universal'' robotic handwriting that only good sex can cure. In the early days of language, all these girls would be having sex regularly, but thanks to the current oppressive legal and religious regime in the US where civil rights, free association, sex, and even access to music and movies are restricted for children by the Christian Fundamentalist Theocracy, these poor handicapped girls sometimes can't even type properly. One can hardly imagine the internal trauma they must suffer, constantly questioning what is the ``proper'' way to form a certain letter, feeling as though they have ``forgotten'' how to write a letter when in fact they merely face an excess of redundant internal patterns.
On the upside, middle school girl virgins are excellent subjects for training handwriting recognition because there are fewer ``local minima''---which is one of the big problems with gradient-descent ANN training. However mining the children's minds for the benefit of Industry hardly justifies the negative health effects.
In Norway, girls in secondary school are screened regularly for pregnancy because there are a variety of free, mandatory prenatal care services, and social workers found that parents were obstructing their children's access to these services by attempting to monitor and ``supervise'' their children's use of State medical care. so, now, the test results are protected by doctor-patient privilege, and semimonthly testing is provided for free in the schools and is all but mandatory, even for girls who say they are still virgins.
Denmark is planning to adopt the same program, but is struggling with funding. Some schools are currently experimenting with handwriting recognition, because it can pre-screen some of the younger girls to save money on pregnancy tests, but so far I think they haven't gotten the reliability high enough to implement the program. They also face confidentiality problems with the ``stigma of virginity,'' which is not a problem with traditional binary pregnancy tests. At least one student-rights group is protesting the handwriting-recognition for this reason.
