Why Girls Get "Slut Shamed" And Not Men

Why girls get

To really leave this myTake with new understanding, leave all preconceived notions about the double standard of slut shaming and get ready to see it in a whole new way.

Why Girls Get "Slut Shamed" And Not Men

When I think about double standards between men and women, I think about the ones that affect me. The one that gets me the most is that if a man says something to a woman and she doesn't like it, it's perfectly acceptable for her to slap him. No one would bat an eye and some people would actually laugh at him and say he deserved it. If a MAN slapped a women who said something he didn't like, if he so much as screamed at her, not even touch her, he would be condemned as a bad man for not having his temper under control. God forbid he slap her.

However, when i hear about the double standards that affect women, the one I hear the most is "slut shaming". And I can't say it isn't a real thing. Women get called sluts if they like to sleep around. But let's take a minute to figure out who is doing the slut shaming. Girls don't walk around with a piece of paper on their head that says "I'm a slut". The so called slut isn't placing the label on themselves, it's the rest of us. That includes ALL OF US. Girls call each other and guys call girls sluts.

But wait, it's not fair that a girl can't sleep around without being called a slut and if a guy sleeps around he's the man. Well I can't say there isn't plenty of truth to that statement. Girls are much more heavily judged when it comes to sex than men. But think about this, why do we come up with the label "slut". It's meant to degrade but also identify who a person is sexually. There are "prudes", "goody goody", or "f*** boys" and "sluts". There is no avoiding those labels, and a lot of these are self placed. I have been in both categories and I'm ok admitting to being labeled either of those because I know those don't define me. Anyways, I have been a prude because I used to be horrible with girls so people thought I was a prude. Then I went to college and started being more sexually successful and I got labeled a "f*** boy". But who were the ones saying I was those things? Girls.

Girls know how to hurt people, I don't say that as an insult, but it is generally true. Girls know how to get under peoples skin AND THEY KNOW IT haha. Think about it, guys don't generally call each other "f*** boys" or anything like that unless it's a guy talking to a girl he wants and she wants the so called f*** boy. It's out of jealousy. But girls call each other sluts and other disrespectful slurs to each other and place similar labels on guys.

If you want to change the problem, change yourself. You can only control yourself and it doesn't do any good to call other people sluts or f*** boys. You aren't building yourself up, it only makes you seem mean and insecure. Remember, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.

What Girls & Guys Said

  • Girls have a lot of criteria for a guy. One of the criteria for men is that she doesn't sleep around, at least for a a girl that they want a serious relationship with. Girls would find it a turnoff if the guy went to prostitutes before and guys find it a turnoff if the girl is a hoe.

    That said, girls should stay away from the "players". All you will get from them is a disease.

    • That's totally true.

  • In all seriousness? Charlie Sheen? He's a loser who let his fame go to his head and blew all his money on coke and hookers. He's not a player, lol, or a stud, he's a whoremonger.

    And the reason why girls get sluts shamed and not men is much simpler, on the instinct level...

    If a man has had a lot of success, that says that many women find him attractive. It's a form of approval--a sign he's a good catch, good genes, whatever. Hence why

    If a woman has had a lot of partners, it's a sign to men she might be unfaithful and cuckold him or such.

    On a practical level? Women aren't attracted to chaste male virgins the same way men are attracted to cute girl virgins.

    Two groups putting their own standards on each other. Not a double standard.

    • Charlie Sheen is a loser? In a world that worships money, I think he's done pretty well for himself. That of course is only if we completely ignore his moral alignment.

    • @Chief16 If you make your career as an actor, become rich, and then your reputation is a coke crazed whoremonger... yes, you are a loser.

    • A successful loser at that.

    • Show All
  • I don't get your point, you were swaying towards both directions.

  • All stupidity in one place but try to understand what i'm saying. If too many people enter a toilet. The toilet gets dirty and is overused. That is just like a women and a man. Women let men entering their body with sexual intercourse and men are entering bodies with intercourse. That is the reason why people slut-shaming women and not man.

    Nobody likes to get an 2015 car owned by five owners and deinitely have userprints on it (feelings and sometimes sicknesses or deformings and what you can think of).

    How weird this sounds but this is the only way how i can explain my view about this.

    And to go on with this; for men in old-fashioned countries it's an manly honour to bang many girls. That's why foreign parents always keeping the girl from dating and love but the boy can go on and do what he wants.

  • Women are free to identify and avoid men who have proven themselves successful sexually with a lot of women.

    They won't because that's the kind of men women want.

    You can't make people want what they don't want.

    • And 'fuckboy' is stupid. Don't fuck women who use the term 'fuckboy'.

  • Nice take

  • Comparing paris hilton to charlie sheen is a pretty bad example. Paris hilton is literally only famous for releasing a sex tape whereas charlie sheen is a successful actor. Of course who do you think is going to receive more respect.

  • not in my book.

  • what chief16 said I also think the reason also comes from the way the guys sexual organs are out for everyone to see I bet a long time ago some old dead guy got cheated on and made the name for women

  • People don't like player and manwhore just manwhore like them it's the same for whore

  • Hahah charlie sheen was not praised for being a "player", he's a dirtbag.
    The only people who praise promiscuous males is other promiscuous males.
    The people who call girls sluts the most are other girls.

    Girls shame males for every aspect of their sexuality. Scum, pig, creep, pervert, etc.
    From watching porn, to masturbation, to strip clubs, to wanting sex.
    Female masturbation is used to sell shampoo for fuck sake, it's praised and not considered gross or wrong. Female sex toy industry makes 14 billion a year while the entire porn industry only makes 4 billion comparatively. Women can talk about watching porn, or going to see male strippers without judgement. You hear it online and in media all the time and it is considered "girls just having fun". When girls want sex, they can be aggressive or overt about it. They can get together in groups and go out to a bar just looking to drag off and when they want to they do.
    Women are hypocrites when it comes to sexuality and who shames who.

    • Charlie Sheen was a notorious player back in the day.

    • @ArtDent yes but it wasn't glorified like they say it was, nor does it make what I said about women's sexuality being praised, less valid.

  • Or you could just save yourself for your one true love, and if they never show it's no big deal. I much rather die a virgin then know I slept around.

    • Same

    • this is the first time i hear a man talking about he rather die a virgin. I though that every guys want to fuck around as long as they live.

    • @rachel1112 Nope. There's a lot of shit you "learn" as a kid that's wrong, but, that just might be the most wrongest of it all. There's probably about as many men as women who are wired for commitment, and for whom sex outside deep relationships just doesn't sit well. The problem is, big crowds of "bros" don't really accept that. Crowds of bros have just as strong an influence as slut-shaming women do -- just in the opposite direction. I mean, I don't know how well you understand boys, but... can you imagine a boy actually SAYING "I'd much rather die a virgin then know I slept around" to an audience of peers? Highly religious environments excepted. No WAY.

  • Lol what? Who? Who anywhere is celebrating what Charlie Sheen does? Everyone for years has been ridiculing his lifestyle choices.

  • in my country no matter what you did if you're a independant girl who have a love/sex life you're a whore ! i hate it nobody know that i'm no lounger virgin cause i'd be insulted and called slut , i hate it but the worst parte is most of slut shaming are made by other girls , they always call other girl slut. girls should be the first to respect other girls and guys would follow.
