Personal Antecdote:
This double standard between men and women hit me for the first time my first week of high school. My best friend, who is still my best friend to this day, called me crying. A boy whom we had gone to school with had decided to call her some choice words, makeout whore. Now that we are in college these things would probably role right off our backs but in your first year of high school at a brand new school with all new people these kinds of things can really sting. Not to mention the fact that this young man was a tad more then a make out whore according to rumors. I remember it making me so angry that he would be such a hypocrite and that he even thought he had the right to say anything. So what if my best friend had kissed someone she wasn’t running around school calling him names. The fact that he was cool because he could sleep around and that she had maybe kissed two boys her entire life and that made her a target of abuse to this day makes my blood boil
Hypothetical scenarios:
I think that if the roles were reversed the men would realize how hypocritical this truly is. Maybe if we all had some kind of a reality show such as Jersey Shore to follow us around the boys would see that they are degrading women and pretty much only getting with the ones that they love to call whores and sluts.
