    Who says men aren't? In the gay community if a man sleeps with a ton of dudes he's a whore. So it's no different in the straight community.

    I agree with you, it isn't right. I look at men and women equally. If either a man or woman sleeps around. I call them a whore or slut.

    Well it's a double standard also there are two reasons we have been taught that women do not like sex and men are only sexual beings some people still believe that today (women who like sex are seen as abnormal and nasty because she's acting out of her nature ) . Another reason I heard is because when women have sex things go in so she's seen as a slut because she lets a lot of men's man hoods go into her .

    you're right. it is a double standard. and men who sleep around really are whores too they are just able to get away with it more because of the twisted society we live in. honestly? no one should sleep around bc, it's just not sanitary or right.

    Not true-- There is such thing as a man whore.

    Lot of women call player type guys "man whores."

    Yes, it is a double standard. It's based thousands of years of sexist thought that still hasn't been squashed, even today.

    If a key opens a lot of locks, it is a master key. If a lock is opened by a lot of keys, it is a bad lock.

  • It's something we've been trying to figure out for years...its just the way it is.
