He Said – 10/23/09

A lot of people have come up to me about this subject. Why is it that when a guy has multiple partners, he is regarded as a god when if a girl does it she’s a slut? Personally I think the two genders are equal.

I don’t care if a girl has slept with a large number of guys. It’s all about what you do behind closed doors that makes a difference. If guys or girls just do the nastiest things you can ever possibly imagine with your sexual partners, then, and only then, will you be a slut in my eyes.

Guys, when you see a girl you think is physically attractive and you want to get in the sack with her, then I think that’s fine. However, if you see a girl and the first thing you think about after your done screwing her is that you’re going to go after her friends, sister, and grandmother then you’re a manwhore. I know it sounds rather ridiculous to call a guy a whore, but essentially that’s the truth. If a girl is sleeping around with a lot of guys and maintains the same thought process that the guy did, then you would call her a whore, so guys deserve the same title.

The only reason that society praises guys for sleeping with a lot of girls and scolds girls who do the same deals with a history of double standards from this country’s birth. As much as women want to be treated or be seen as equal, they’re not on equal footing and that goes for promiscuity among genders as well. Although we need to drop the medieval ideas, it would be like beating a dead horse. All you can do is try and grow up and help the people around you see the errors of their ways as well.
