If a man sleeps with many partners he's a 'stud', 'Romeo', a Cassanova. If a woman sleeps with anyone outside of marriage, she's a 'slut'.
Look at all the hoops a woman has to jump through to get birth control (and look at the attempts to shut down Planned Parenthood), where any male old enough to push his money across the counter can walk into just about any drug store in America and buy condoms.
Women are still paid significantly less than men for doing the exact same job.
And while we're at it, I get so damn pissed at these 'Choose Life' bumper stickers. They are total and complete BS, since the folks who put that kind of sticker on their cars (or T-shirts) don't want you to have ANY choice in the matter. If a woman has sex (whether consensual or not) and gets pregnant, then she damn well better carry it to term and deliver. If she miscarries, there is a strong presupposition that somehow it was her fault and in some states she can be investigated for 'murder'.
What a load of crap!
