Can you tell the difference?
Men are respected and honored with
the claim they have slept with multiple women. But, on the other hand, if a
women claims she has slept with multiple men for the same reason, pleasure and
enjoyment, the women are “slut shamed” and are seen as women who have little to
no self- respect. Men can easily take off their shirt on a warm day and receive
no negative judgement. Women on the other hand can’t wear too short of clothing
or show too much of their shoulders because society says if they do, they are
asking for sexual attention. I understand that in intimate situations, a woman
showing her shoulder or lifting her clothing up her leg is an action involved
in sexual attention. However, a woman in broad daylight wearing a spaghetti
strapped shirt or a mini skirt isn’t asking for any more sexual attention than
a male is by wearing his pants low (so the underwear shows), or taking off his
shirt because it is hot outside. It is necessary to understand that there is a
difference between a woman showing shoulder in a sexual manner, and showing
shoulder in an everyday, going to the grocery store, “it’s hot outside and this
is the best she can do to keep herself cool other than taking her shirt off”
manner. If you can’t tell the difference, that’s your own problem to solve, not
the woman’s. You can’t expect the woman to solve your problems by making her
feel forced to change her attire.
1.) I wrote a post about this particular topic because in my opinion women shouldn't be getting judge negatively for doing the same thing men are getting positive judgment for.
