> It prevents the mass whorification of women. Yet human nature and market forces will always ensure that whores exist. I’d be more careful using the word “whore”, especially as a dude. To me it kinda feels like the “n-word” equivalent but for women. Purely hurtful and meant to denigrate. Even more so in this context. Like there is not even a similarly hateful term I know for a highly sexual or “slutty” male. Hypersexual behaviour is something the society seems to have a problem only when it’s women. Why contribute to this clearly exist sentiment? Let people live and have fun and even make money off of it if they are not hurting anybody | ||

That part hurt a bit, but i think it highlights the point of the author: do you want something extremely distasteful(even in words) but real or you would rather go for forced harmony? I would say that word is so offensive that it forced me to think whether I am a fascist for wanting it to be toned down, just like the CCP. Articles like this are a good check on personal beliefs. From that point of view the article is really well written. | ||

anybody can be a whore, conflating whoreness with femininity is probably a you issue not a societal issue. 'manwhore' is an extant, commonly used male specific term for 'promiscuous human', implying to me that there is a portion of society that don't ascribe negativity solely to female promiscuity. personally I'd be happy to use the term 'promiscuous human' if it didnt have 6x as many syllables as 'whore'. I also don't understand why it is hateful to label somebody's behaviour - am I meant to ignore that partner count and divorce rate are correlated, just so that a small subset of humans can go behave like animals instead of behaving normally? do you think that kids of broken families are happy their mothers and fathers slept around as youths and weren't taught commitment? | ||
