Makes sense.

This debate isn't limited to women. I don't think there is anything wrong with sleeping around, and have never believed so. Despite having a mother who's hardcore slut shamming towards women, tried to keep me away from my friends because she thought they were sluts. But then again, thin eyebrows make you look like a slut according to her so after that I never took anything she said about it seriously. That word used in a negative sense is completely irrational and no way advocates human indecency. It's just pretentious trivial bull****. I tend to use that word for fun intentions with people who get it, but considering that word still has an insulting connotation I'll think twice about saying it to a stranger.

Sex for pleasure doesn't intently harm anyone whether it be 1, 5, 10001267 partners. It's none of your damn business anyway.

imo.

This is exactly how I feel about it too.

And is the term man slut widely used enough? If women get called a slut, why shouldn't a man if he carries out the same behavior defined as a slut.

Men can be sluts too.

Yes but a man being called a slut is a de facto badge of honor, it's not a pejorative like it is with a woman

Like this, for instance

An uncommon pro-choice stance:

When considering the sort of people who are more likely to get an abortion (dumb sluts, dysfunctional impulsive types, drug addicts etc), voluntary abortion helps improve the genetic stock of future generations by slightly reducing the disproportionately high rates of breeding by stupid people. When peak humanity is reached, do you really want the population to be comprised mostly of idiots?

According to Freakonomics, their explanation for the steady decline in crime rates in the 1990s, was due to the result of the Roe vs Wade decision 20 years earlier. Fewer unwanted children produced by stupid people, meant fewer criminals in the long run.

It totally is dirty/216 again.

Interesting thread and comments everybody. I think it's unfortunate that women have been tagged with the word "slut" throughout history, unlike men. The double standard is disgraceful, to be blunt. The only point of contention I would have is if it rains, wear a raincoat. Sure, one could say the other option is not to go out in the rain, but that's not always realistic, as most would acknowledge.

Someone earlier asked "Do prostitutes count?" Personally, I would say no. Simply because that's how some of them make their living. Truth be told, a prostitute can have more integrity than a spouse or "significant other". By and large, you'll get the who, what, where, when, and how BEFORE it takes place! Or rather, how much? The aforementioned spouse or S.O. will tell each other nothing, most notably when they begin dating, or doing, each other, take your pick. Rightly or wrongly. But I digress. :crazy:

I saw an interesting story/P.R. stunt ( take your pick...;)) online that somewhat ties in with a previous post of mine quoted above. Evidently there is talk about Vegas businessman (:pimp:) Dennis Hof bringing a temporary brothel to AZ. in conjunction with Super Bowl 2015. Yes, you read that right. He's in PHX. today putting together a symposium with various elected officials: one in particular who cheated on his wife, has already "pulled out" ( :eek:...:thumb:) of the meeting because he's seeking re-election. And for the record, he'll be there at the brothel if it materializes, whether he admits it or not. Which coincides with my previous quote above where I state that "a PROSTITUTE can have MORE integrity than a SPOUSE or significant other". But I digress. Anyway, Hof's "proposal" is to set up "shop" here for 60 days total ( 30 days before AND 30 days after the big game) which, to his thinking, would help reduce sex trafficking among minors. It would be regulated like his places in Vegas are, and he would offer the city of Phoenix $500,000 dollars to make this a reality. Of course, that's in addition to the revenue this would generate. As of this writing, a KTVK news poll is saying that it's 55%-45% in FAVOR of this. Regardless of who wins the game, I guess for the first time spectators will also be able to SCORE ( :thumb:) as well IF the price is right. I look forward to what the MB community has to say about it, BOTH pro and con. Let's discuss, shall we? :cool:
