why is it ok for men but not woman?

If a woman sleeps around she is considered a slut but if a man does he is a player and it's more excepted. I understand that now days men get less respect if he sleeps around but that change is recent.....i'm curious.

Update:

wow. good feedback. haha i like them all except for the Aoife i wouldn't put it up if without thinking that. If theres heaps on here then you must have read a few and so why are you answering mine?

    Neither, hey? Neither OK, nor bad. Because for every men that sleeps around their must be a woman. (sleeping around too) Can't sleep around by yourself! Thus 50/50 to blame.

    Peace.

    It is at least 100 to 1 females calling other females sluts. Men rarely refer to a female as a slut. The reason for this is that the number of men that a female can attract or sleep with if they are famous raises her standing amongst other females. Ergo other females must attempt to stop a female from gaining ground and they do this by calling her a slut and saying that she does not respect herself. Men do not have such a competition since men relate more on achievvement. Of course, men who achieve more attract more females who will have sex with them to raise their status amongst females. Monica was a good example.

    Evolution - A woman has to carry the baby for 9 months and so has to be more careful when choosing a mate whereas, to spread his genes, a man would have to mate with lots of women.

    This works the other way round too - If a woman is a virgin she is pure but if a man is a virgin he is a loser.

    Yes people still choose to label females than to label men, even if men are wrong to

    but this is just how the whole world works... maybe it will change in the next 50 years or so

    If a guy sleeps around he gets labeled a manwhore, and that is not respectable.

    Anyone who sleeps around is a tramp. Man or woman.

    No, that change isn't recent. Otherwise Edward Cullen wouldn't be cool(which is very hard).

    The seachbar exists for a reason... I'd say this question must be asked on a daily or near daily basis.

  • who's calling who a player and a slut? It's mostly women who shame other women.

    You am SOOO righted sistur, teh evul menz am alway alloud to be evul to us innycent womyn. Us womyn am HOOMAN while teh evul menz am knot.

    Luckily us superiorous but equal womyn has not one - not a single double standard that work in our favors. It not like we can beat a child around, sexually abuse children, smack teh evul menz in the gonads, cut off his winky and be applauded by feminists for it, hire hitmen to murder teh evul menz!

    Noes, us womyn am never having double standards that we get aways with. And you am so righted to fixate on the one single area where teh evul menz might have an upper-hand, in times long gone by but not anymore...

    i think its because its easier for women to get laid, so its like they're not making a sacrifice, so it seems negative

    but men need to really try to get a girl, so hes really trying and working towards a goal, so it seems positive
