What's the female equivalent for 'womanizer'?

I suspect whatever it is it's a negative term. 'Womanizer' is positive in a nudge nudge wink wink sort of way

YOU ARE NOT CHEWED GUM---Trojan co puts up wall of chewed gum in DC. Anti purity cult meme!

Found at friendlyatheist blog at patheos. Link to more info

Abstinence only programs, purity cult churches teach that girls who have sex before marriage are like chewed gum--something no one would ever, ever want to touch

Just reading about Miri Clan in Germany--a (maybe) Kurdish drug gang. Ever hear of it?

1st read about it in Der Spigel magazine---leader had been deported, but he somehow managed to get back into Germany.

They apparently have a major motorcycle gang in the country.

Impt reminder: walls are NOT permanent! Must be constantly rebuilt!

So building a wall is NOT a once and done expense. There must be a permanent budget for maintenance and rebuillding.

Fred Clark in his blog slacktivist at patheos on October 21 points this out by reminding us of Robert Frost's poem 'Mending Wall'

The poem starts 'There is something that doesn't like a wall'

Reading it again I was struck by the neighbor's stolid, blind, unthinking defermination to rebuild the wall once again. Reminded me of someone!

Pence's older brother is a HouseRep from IN on one of the committees in room GOPers crashed

This means the VP has access to all the info coming out.

I don't believe this is very widely known

IIRC I saw this in same Buzzfeed digital issue that had long article about the GOPers crashing into the room
