But isn't that what guys like Stern do all the time and get away with it? Just sayin', it seems like people get picky about what they get upset by and when, or whom. I think people can say whatever crap they want and I can choose to just not listen. But specifically, I think it *could* matter if what a person says does, in fact, turn out to be true. I'unno, it's a fuzzy area.

And I agree it's a double standard, the male equivalent would probably be "stud", and that's definitely spoken in only the most positive context. Every guy wants to be a stud, while no girl will admit to being a slut. Could be the fact that, for a woman, sex has more potential consequences and so a woman should be more protective of her body. For guys, the worst that can happen is you get a disease, OR you get someone pregnant and frankly, most guys don't care about either. Which is stupid as hell, but I digress. Point being, casual sex from a male perspective has fewer negative consequences. For a girl, you could get a disease, have an unwanted pregnancy, possibly DIE from complications with that pregnancy, and for many girls, the very first time you physically lose a piece of yourself that you can never get back. It just seems a bigger deal all around.

So I think that's why casual sex is often seen as a positive thing for guys and a negative thing for girls. Guys are just plantin' seeds, girls could potentially ruin their lives by having sex with the wrong guy. It's a double-standard, but I see some merit in it. I think men and women in general could be more selective about their choices, quite frankly.
