2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: If you send Bill Clinton out as your surrogate [View all]merrily
(45,251 posts)74. I think it is a special issue for women.
Slut shaming of a female pregnant out of wedlock. Blaming the rape victim for having dressed "too seductively." Making a illness (nymphomania) of women having "too many" sex partners, while making the male who does the same thing an object of admiration, etc. Even though I think the history justifies being one-sided about it, I don't use terms like "dick" or "prick."
