I should have made myself more clear: Calling anyone a whore (who doesn't have sex for a living) is not ok in my book. Sorry for the mixup.

All this discussion about gender equality and whatnot doesn't make the girl who did this any less stupid and downright mean for telling everyone about it and including the guy's names and pictures.

I don't care if you're male or female, and I don't care how many people you sleep with.
Just keep it to yourself, because that is nobody's business.



but she didn't, sooooooo....

HAHAH! there are some secrets that must be kept beyond the grave. something as outrageous as this- anyone would be tempted to be like "DON'T TELL ANYONE, but look at this", and then the gift just keeps on giving.

Naaah, if I show you something or tell you something in confidence and you're what I call my friend and then share beyond the circle, you're cut off, and your'e lucky if you don't GET cut. But that tends to be why I don't tell bishes shit in the first place!

Yeah you texted me, but what was I supposed to say to that, lol.

You mean "BY: Drew Magary" at the top didn't do that for you, hoss?

Magary's a Deadspin staple, and he has a definite point of view (DURRRRP) - he's also far smarter than you'll guess from this snippet, and he's also overwhelmingly right here. One of the key problems with the "HERO/SLUT" dichotomy is that it suppresses (by intent or by consequence - likely both) female sexuality. Sexuality is often power. She was in the position of power here, and used it stupidly - that happens. She's a fucking moron. That happens.

He's right, though - "A woman who likes having sex with men has NOTHING to be ashamed of. Ever ever ever ever."

A woman who's a fucking moron? Be ashamed. Ever.

Unless it's a publication I read a lot, I don't read the byline generally speaking. After I read the article I did read the byline, but only then.

I couldn't help but think, "He's being totally facetious, right?"

You may think I'm being facetious about this, but I am not.
Oh. Okay then.

I'm interested to hear what part you felt was wrong - remember, he's a humor writer, so keep that in mind. His main point - "Women shouldn't be ashamed of enjoying sex" - seems pretty universal . . . do you think he should be facetious in that point?
