Why are women called sluts for sleeping around but men aren’t?

Question

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

For the same reason that men are labeled as not confident or timid, possibly lazy for not being ambitious enough both in regards to women and life in general. Because BOTH genders have a PERCIEVED gender role, both to the opposite gender and to their own gender as well.

You notice you never hear women really being criticized for not being enterprising enough either. You never hear women being criticized for not seeking more leadership roles. Because it is not their PERCIEVED role to society. It IS to men! But not to women. It is a woman's societal expectation to be the keepers of virtue. Now a woman doesn't have to do this. But much like the lazy, timid men, they BOTH WILL pay a price for being that way, socially, professionally, and possibly personally.

Sorry, society has gender roles. Don't like it? Switch genders. You CAN do that now. And while that is still judged to a degree, it is becoming less so.

because she had options and still did not stay with just one.

a slut in old days slept with many so she now- did same as the ancient sluts so gets called due to did dame as ancient. especialy if she only dates a guy with money. is doing same. for his money. not for love.

but a guy alway had to hire. in past. so when we 'get some' it is impressive not cheap. we praise each other.

I don't think it has anything to do with biology. All the BS on here about how women are wired not to sleep around. There are plenty of women who enjoy sleeping around but never tell anyone about it, which is why everyone thinks women never like sleeping around.

If a man sleeps around, it means there must be another woman who likes sleeping around. There can't be all these men who love sleeping around but no women who like it.

I still call men dirty slurs

Rorroto · Answer

Because sex is more risky for women and much easier to get, whereas for guys I'd say it usually requires some type of skill or effort, often a lot of it. It's a sign of the guy having improved themselves to the point where they're attractive to women, so it's praised, whereas with women they're more at risk of many more dangers.

But it's bad to demean women just for sleeping around. I understand why it's often praised when men do it (which I think is fine you get sex in honest, non-manipulative ways even if you're not in a relationship). I understand why people might have concerns about women sleeping around a lot in some circumstances... but it shouldn't go further than that... and even that's probably being a patronizing ass unless you know the woman personally most of the time.

The majority of women prefer men that have had lots of sexual experience and look down on men that haven't.

The majority of men prefer women that haven't had lots of sexual experience and look down on those that have.

Only immoral, low quality people are promiscuous. They cannot have good pair bonding because it damages their ability to feel connected to people emotionally and the ability to trust someone. If you are a good quality person, NEVER accept a partner that has a promiscuous past whether they are a man or woman.

aceleon · Answer

you can call us that too, difference is we won't care or even feel proud while you take it as an offense.

man sleeping around means he has it easy with woman

woman sleeping around means she is easy

gate holder for sex is woman.

Hispanic-Cool-Guy · Answer

I think because even a below average looking girl can go up to a random guy and offer some sexual pleasure and she will likely get it while on the other hand even good looking men might have to struggle a bit to even get sex from a below average looking girl.

onmyradar · Answer

There's all kinds of double standards against men and women. Here's the thing, it started biologically that women would know who the man was that got her pregnant so he would help her raise the child to contribute. If the guy didn't think he was the father, why would he contribute? That's how it started, in the natural order of things in the "cavepeople" days. Now, that's turned into a variation of either, she wouldn't know who got her pregnant and you get the Maury effect, you are not the father, after the DNA test and the woman points the finger, you're the father. The other being, Men are denied sex often, so when a man can get sex it's almost a shock, so it's celebrated. A woman is seen as being able to get sex whenever, so the opposite becomes true, it's seen as she doesn't value herself because she doesn't hold back. If we could just get past all the BS, maybe everyone could just be happier.

AviatorTom · Answer

Basic biology, the way Mother Nature built us humans, mainly for procreation.

Women are supposed to take good are of that one egg they release each month, while have the ability to spread their sperm around, any time they want.

Historically, many men, especially those in power, had a wife and one of more mistresses. Women just had one man in their life.

Chazmatazz269 · Answer

We have different words for men who sleep around; dog, man whore, f*ck boy, lothario, etc.
The suggestion that men are encouraged to be promiscuous while women are expected to remain virginal is a complete lie and always has been.

Anonymous · Answer

For one, slut is a female gendered term.

Second, having one night stands constantly with different women is something the majority of men can't do since they are on the bargaining end of the deal. Why you don't often see men condemned for it is because it's so uncommon that it's borderline impressive. You more often hear them being called incels which is the polar opposite.

RavVid · Answer

Biology isn't equal. It is generally regard as nice for a women to not have any confusion as to who knocked her up. And kinda important that accidental incest doesn't happen.

EzraIsShy76028 · Answer

Basically men are celebrated for being sexual while for women it's the opposite. Sexism basically.

Miristheiss · Answer

Who cares.

Men and women are different.

Men want to marry wives, not used whores.

Women care about provision and status, not sexual history.

How about women stop being sluts. Trying to LANGUAGE POLICE won't change anything.

itss_lily · Answer

its due to misogyny and male privilege🤷🏻‍♀️

OneViewpoint · Answer

Who's calling them sluts? Men who can't get some? Other women who are too timid or too unattractive to do the same? Fucked up religious zealots? Not me.

slatyb · Answer

Vestiges of the patriarchy. It's absurd, because the average number of partners is the same for men and women.

exitseven · Answer

it is a double standard. it might have something to do with the fact that girls can get sex a lot easier than guys.

FunkyMonkee · Answer

There's a word for men, too, I just forget what it is. We used to say it about my guitarist who had a "have dick: will travel" attitude. He even fucked anything in a skirt that stood still long enough when he had a steady girlfriend or was married!!

Levin · Answer

Because biology dictates that women should be sexually selective.  I think sleeping around is pretty gross for both parties, but to each their own.

Chayce · Answer

Because for a man it takes finesse and deliberation to sleep with a woman unless your SMV rank is exceptionally high, like a good looking millionaire celebrity. For the most part. To sleep with women in droves.

A key that can open many locks is called a master key. a lock that can be opened by many keys is a shitty lock.

It's an unfortunate double standard. Though sometimes men can be criticized if they "use" women.
