Men are sluts

[Aliantha]

I think there's a big difference between women who have a high number of sexual partners, and women who have several children to different men.

The two are not connected in any way.

You only need to have sex once to get pregnant, so it is possible that a woman could have three children by three different men and have only had sex three times, yet society still calls her a slut (or whatever).

Alternately, a woman could have sex with 50 men but children to only one and that's ok, or at least, more ok because there's no evidence of sluttish behaviour unless she says what she's done.

The fact that the 50 partner woman should feel the need to hide that figure is a shame and says a lot about how the average person thinks.

I know this isn't the only reason but I think the bad reputation the first women will get is because society not only calls her sexually promiscuous but stupid as well. If you got pregnant three times to three different men it is very likely that contraceptives were not used and the man was not wearing a condom, so society will call her irresponsible and stupid since it is common knowledge that contraceptives and condoms will dramatically reduce the risk of pregnancy.

This can also assume that she may have sexually transmitted diseases. If a women who has sex once get an STD, she will instantly be labeled sluttier than a women who has sex 50 times but has never got an STD.

Even though it is unfair to those women that have gotten unwanted pregnancies and STDs, especially because of a broken condom or failed contraceptive, it is good, at least in my opinion, that we put more emphasis on safe sex than abstinence.

That is the problem. The man is actually the slut or the woman who had sex one time would never have gotten an STD. I don't beleive people in todays time think that a woman who has gotten an STD is a slut.

I have seen differently but it could be where we were raised and the age difference.

I could be. I think the differences are more related to an individuals upbringing and how they are taught to view sex, premarital sex, among other things.
