This is a question Sexism

Freddie Woo tells us: Despite being a well rounded modern man I think women are best off getting married and having a few kids else they'll be absolutely miserable come middle age.

What views do you have that are probably sexist that you believe are true?

Studs and slags
In my school sociology class, I was taught that a man who sleeps around is considered a stud, but when a woman does the same she's a slag.

Maybe in 1973, but nowadays a woman who sleeps around is liberated but when a man does it, he's a manipulative bastard who's only after one thing. Same if you cheat on your partner: if he does it, he's a bastard, if she does it it's because she was unhappy.

In fact, when the female partner of a friend of mine (and mother of his child) took to shagging the neighbours as she "felt trapped in the relationship", many of her female friends rallied round her; after all, how terrible does your man have to be to drive you to something like that? I wonder how they'd have felt if he'd done the same to her?

This
is far closer to my experience towards men and women who have been around a lot. None of the girls I know get shit for it. Come to think of it, neither do the men much.

I haven't come across the differing attitudes to cheating as much. I find the double standard is a fairly gender neutral "It's OK if I cheat, not if they do". This is why I generally consider polyamorous people to be the same as everyone else but more honest.
