Maybe there are men whose reason to frown upon promiscuous women is that they feel that she would fail to be a loyal, committed partner, and / or that she doesn't know how to form a solid bond (commitment), rather than it being any attempt to shame or control her in any way, which I think would be pretty futile anyway in this day and age. But then again if a man is so big and tough I don't see why he would be so insecure about it. If it wasn't for patriarchy and gender norms life would be a lot simpler.
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.
