Women reclaiming the word SLUT

[Mister Agenda]

I like being called a slut in bed, because I'm not one. Analyze that .

That's pretty normal, but I'm not sure why it's normal. The urge to call someone a name you otherwise wouldn't, or liking being called something you're not or normally wouldn't like to be called...it IS a thing. I like to call a woman I'm having sex with names I wouldn't ordinarily use, and I've been called names (sometimes odd ones) without it bothering me. Sex is something we (most of us, at least) don't ordinarily do in public, and I think many of us tend to go with it and heighten the sense of 'getting away with doing something we shouldn't be' by bringing in further minor transgressions of public propriety. But maybe it's just something to do with our wiring.

There is a big difference between being insecure and not wanting to get your heart ripped out, chewed up and shat on. Someone who'll fuck anything that moves is less likely to be a faithful partner, regardless of gender. Being a "real man" doesn't mean you have to be an emotionless shell. Also, women are somewhat less likely to be deceived into thinking that someone else's child is their own. That has nothing to do with gender bias, it's just biology.

You can make a case that jealousy is more selected for in men. A man without jealousy winds up raising the children of other men. That particular biological risk isn't present for women; but jealousy can pay off biologically for women who don't let their men leave them with the kids without a fight.

Mitigating this is that the man raising some other guys kids may still have kids of his own with his sleep-around wife; and the woman whose husband runs off may find a replacement to help bring home the venison.
