Why does society give men a free pass to sleep around but bash women if they do the same thing?

I know two wrongs dont make a right but if a guy lose interest in a girl most of the time she liked the guy but she is still slut shame.

  • Sexual Darwinism has been the main factor in the creation of a
    slut-stud double-standard. In nature, the female practices
    selectivity, while the male attempts to impregnate as many females
    as possible. Humans cannot shake their biological heritage.

    Human evolution has encouraged the development of social values
    which reward the biological goals of men and women. A man who mates
    with many women is achieving his biological goal. Bragging about sexual exploits reflects the difficulty of meeting the high standards of a selective female.
    Deriding promiscuous women is a condemnation of their failure to
    practice biological selectivity.

  • I don't see slut shaming. Fundamental mammalian biology says that because the females have so much more skin in the game, they have more to lose to a bad choice. Therefore the system evolved into males compete, females choose. Men are pursuers. Not always fair but it's basic biology.

  • Sexism.

    • Double standards really suck. You should be able to fuck anyone you want without judgement as long as both parties are consenting. Agree?

  • It's a bullshit double standard!
    People judge even though they have no right!
    Has that happened to you recently?

    • Yes, it just makes women feel bad about themselves.

    • Its very immature. We all have our natural feelings of arousal and desire!

  • I mean, you say they get a free pass. But it's not like there's no consequence at all. And it doesn't make them any less of a piece of shit.
    If anything I've seen a lot more women get away with cheating than guys, but I don't presume to say one gender is worse than the other for it, because it's not a gender based thing, some people really are just bad people.

  • Because of sexist double standards. Pretty simple answer ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • Mostly because women don't give a shit if men want to whore around.

    Many men are vocal that they don't want a slut for a partner.

    But many women thinks it's attractive if their man has had a lot of partners.

  • What are you asking, exactly?

  • I think it's a leftover product of an earlier era, because I can tell you from a male perspective that the whole hooking up thing isn't actually happening very often. The implication of what I'm saying, being that young men aren't acting on it, even if there is an actual nonchalance to promiscuity for young men. The younger Millennials, like myself, have far less sex than even the older Millennials, and studies show that the trend is continuing to younger people than us.

  • ... Because males and females are different... everyone knows this... "society" does not exist as its own entity; if "society" thinks a thing it's because millions of individuals think it... next...

  • Women are Queens and stand on a
    Pedestal in a white dress and shoes and have an inocent pure virgin reputation to keep. Men are hunters and like to conquer. It doesn't make it right though on the men's part

  • what is your question?

    • Why can men be whores but dont get crap for it

  • Because that's the way God made it. :)

  • Hypocrites?

  • I don't know, it seems more like women want a man whose slept around and men want virgins tho

  • Cause guys have to work for it, its so difficult that when they finally get it in they're seen as champions who won a prize (sex). Women, on the other hand, are the gatekeepers to sex, so when they give a bunch of guys their pussy, they look like sluts. A used beat up trashy car that's had 10 previous owners, the odometer raked up to nearly 500k miles... I hope this makes sense.

  • Also not fair what women get to wear and say and be.. I'm jealous to the point I wanna become them.

  • Oh this old thing.

    Here’s the deal...

    women generally pick and choose when and with whom they have sex, therefore there is an expectation of standards, dignity, etc.
    Males do not generally have this option and therefore when a male can get sex from a girl it is expected that he take it.

    The people who slut shame girls the most are other girls.

  • actually that's a typical stereotype. years ago maybe from the 80's and 90's men used to be praised for screwing around being manwhores but now guys who do shit like that get condemned. women otoh who did that back then used to be bashed and called whores but now women who sleep around and fuck every dick they see get praised for whatever the fuck reason.

  • It doesn't.. You may choose not to see it, but most people where im from see men and women both that sleep around as abhorrent
