I'm listening to a song by Christina Aguilara and Missy Elliot. They ask why is it that a guy can sleep with five girls and he's a player, but a girl sleeps with five guys and she's a slut. I never thought about it that way, but I am sick of the double standard. Why is it guys have all the fun?
So let's fix the double standard. I see that we have two options:
1. Stop calling girls "sluts" and start calling them "players." This won't change a thing. Whore guys don't care what you call it-slut, whore, player, empowered-it means the same thing to them: they can get in your pants. "Player" will start meaning "slut" or "whore." Guys will stop calling themselves "players" and invent a new name to glorify their promiscuity. The solution isn't in changing the name.
Let's say girls can sleep around with pride and so the guys won't "have all the fun." Now girls will compete with guys to see who can sleep around the most. It's one nasty orgy where no one is loved or cherished. People become objects in a game of death.
It will never become universally acceptable for a girl to be a whore. Who wants their mom to sleep around? Because remember, almost every girl will become a mother. You want a mother who is loving, selfless, and GOOD. God gives females the gift of morality so that the next generation will have good mothers so the world doesn't fall apart. Does this mean all guys will get around? What about them?
2. Start expecting more of guys. You may not be able to change the world, but you can make it better, one guy at a time. Instead of putting out to any guy who'll hold your hand, set your standards high. Make the decision to wait to make love on your wedding night. Let people know and be proud of it. Some people will make fun of you, but then again people make fun of girls who get around too. But many people will be intrigued with your decision. No one has more power than a girl living chastity.
