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.
