With that being said, you haven't unraveled my statement one bit. "Guys do it too!" isn't a very good argument. I am not obligated to treat a woman who acts and looks like a slut with respect, because she doesn't even respect herself. I'll treat her like the slut she is and take advantage of the opportunity to get some easy sex, then leave. She isn't relationship material, so I'm moving on.
The fuck...? Seriously? In case you missed the memo, women don't exist purely as relationship potential. A woman (or any individual) has a sole right to his or her sexuality regardless of your ridiculously puritanical definitions of self-respect. If a person is comfortable enough with his or her body and sexuality, nobody else's convictions ought to affect the way they conduct themselves. What right do you have to judge?
And on that same vein, "men do it too" is a perfectly cogent argument. You're implying there is something about women that sets them apart from men with respect to sexuality and "self-respect," and as far as I can see, that categorical difference is their candidacy for your attention. Get over yourself.
