Want to start a little discussion here.
I was at a talk the other day - one which I personally thought later on was really a male-apologist session. We listened to males complaints about females in relationships and were told males are really "more logical" and females "more emotional". Although the speaker went on to say, "it’s not a bad thing, it’s just the way we are", the context of the entire discussion certainly made me feel like being "emotional" was a bad thing.
But anyway, what really irked me was when the speaker started talking about having multiple partners - it’s not an equal world, she said, and promiscuous guys will be excused moe than promiscuous girls. Fair enough, I thought - my past experience had certainly told me it was not an equal world. But then the speaker went on to blast promiscuous girls - "I think girls like that really have no respect for their bodies." I could see some members of both sexes silently nodding, and I was wondering: what about guys who sleep around? Don’t they also not respect themselves?
The fact that guys were left out of that equation reinforces the double standard. Plus, I know quite a few girls who have multiple partners, and they’re very sassy ladies. They’re smart, and I respect them for the contributions they make to the world. If they choose to celebrate their sexuality by having multiple partners, why should we condemn them as not having respect for themselves?
To the floor now: what do YOU think?
