Women are looked at as pure and innocent in our society so there's more pressure on them to act that way whether most naturally are like that not. Virginity and purity are social constructs and other times were rooted in religion.
This double standard issue, we've been doing this for awhile just less severely as time went on. See if you can find a pattern here.
In America it used to be women who were seen in a bar were automatically arrested for prostitution while the guys wouldn't get in trouble. Some time later girls were allowed in bars.
Also since premarital sex was illegal, if a girl got pregnant before marriage she was arrested while the guy got off with nothing. Eventually girls weren't arrested for having premarital sex.
Fast forward closer to our time and there is a period where girls were arrested for wearing shorts that showed skin a few inches up from the knee. Girls that wore shorts were seen as slutty and rebellious. Eventually it became normal.
In hindsight we realize that was unfair treatment with not a lot of logic.
Now back to our time...
men who have sex with a lot of girls or who hook with them quickly are seen as making an accomplishment, which it is because he has obstacles to overcome, you actually have to work to convince a girl to have sex. It isn't looked at as morally wrong.
When a girl hooks up with a lot of guys or just hooks up quickly isn't seen as an accomplishment, which it isn't because she didn't have to overcome any obstacles to have sex with the men. However it IS seen as morally wrong while a guy having a lot of sex isn't.
There's no logic behind it. If she isn't ruining other people's relationships or manipulating people she's not doing anything wrong. It's no different then when a guy does it except it's not an accomplishment. That's the only difference.
What we did to women with arresting them for going to a bar, having premarital sex, and wearing shorts, we know now it was wrong. Here's the kicker, we're doing it again, this time with slut shaming. It's the same thing except it's our times version of it.
This only applies to the people who don't think it's okay when a guy has a lot of partners but not when a girl does it. When I ask them to logically explain why it's wrong for a girl to do it but it's somehow okay for a guy to, they can't explain it.
This is take is the only logical explaination for this.
People who think it's wrong for both sexes to sleep around this take isn't about you.
