Interesting to note as well that a man can have 'one in every port,' but it's not perceived to be a negative thing.
Notice we really don't even have a word for it. I suppose "philanderer" is one, but not a word with the same kind of punch and social connotations as "whore" or "slut".
the paragon of female sexual behaviour has been "lie back and think of England,"
Wouldn't thinking of England just make things worse? *ducks*
Also, it makes me think of a line from Will & Grace. "You'll do what any other self respecting woman does - lay back, point your heels to Jesus and think of handbags!"
I think it all comes down to patriarchal hegemony, and the basic truth that chauvinism stems from a deep fear of the female body
I'm not sure why men are so afraid of women's bodies. Seeing as how a) we all come from one and b) they're quite nice and c) who the frell is whacked out enough to be scared of boobs?
Anyway, I ♥ your brain even when you're drunk and ranty.
