In fact, when I have come across girls with reputations etc those reputations have almost always originated with other girls.

One of my friends has slept with three guys (at different times...) in the same fraternity over the past two years. We have never termed her a slut, but they have. This is beside the fact that one of these guys sleeps with every girl he can get, and one of the others sleeps around quite a bit, too. It was agreed between her and those two guys that this was "just for fun...", and she had a relationship with the other. She's the one with the bad rep, not them (even though we don't particularly like them and they really don't have a chance with the girls we hang around with, greek or otherwise).
I agree that girls do more name calling/backstabbing than boys, but we also criticize boys. The guys are often pretty guilty in starting and spreading bad reputations for girls, yet seem to be immune from criticism for the same actions from other guys.
Case in point: a guy we've nicknamed manwhore for obvious reasons. Another guy hears it and says, "No, he's not that bad, he's a good guy." Whereas, with a girl, it's more along the lines of "Oh, she's nice, but she sleeps with everyone." So a guy can get away with using girls for sex, but a girl can only sleep with her boyfriend.....that's the double standard that I see.
Sorry so long (and off topic)
