I think as a country, there will always be a double standard. Men are allowed to have recreational sex, but women are not supposed to. No idea who these women are that the men are having recreational sex with, but no one seems to think that through. Or rather, the women are labeled, but the men are not.

Women who have recreational sex need options. The men should be wearing condoms, but cannot be counted on. Women who have recreational sex need good contraceptive options. Women having recreational sex usually do NOT want to get pregnant, and should not be expected to keep a fetus, especially since they are probably not ready to have children, and probably will not have the support of the sire of the child. If they know who it is.

Me personally, I do not believe that women who are in a stage in their lives where they are sleeping with multiple men should have children. But that's just me.
