I thought you were for some reason. In that case then women should be as free as men to have as many sexual partners
as they choose. There should be zero discrimination in that respect. As long as they are responsible consenting adults
then there is nothing wrong in principle with that. Cultural sensitivities that pronounce judgement upon women for
being promiscuous are benevolently sexist at least and blatantly misogynistic at worst and I reject them completely
I do not see how you can judge female promiscuity the same as for males given the obvious different tendencies of the
genders There is certainly social pressure that judges omen more harshly but to my mind men and women are biologically less inclined to be promiscuous except in exceptional circumstances. For example homosexual males appear to revel in casual sex more than females. In western countries like Australia public toilets, sand dunes get filled with gay men looking for very casual hookups, but I have never seen of or heard gay women being a problem to the extent gay men. Women who are inclined to be indiscriminately promiscuous are in the profession of prostitutes, where for obvious reasons they sleep with a large number
of men who are prepared to pay for impersonal, anonymous sex. There does not appear to be the same demand for prostitutes by women who are just looking for quick sex. Women who are selectively promiscuous are groupies, where they are prepared
to sleep with someone who is a total stranger however the lure of their status in society means they will readily have casual
sex The celebrity is also having promiscuous sex, once again the model does not work the other way where high status
women are prepared to have sex with unlimited amounts of groupies, no doubt the men would be willing, but they will
do it with women of any status
Given these obvious differences on what basis do you give them equal moral status

You are reading too much of your bias into my comments, so I will help you out.
I am well aware that women screw around, usually when they can get away with it, and unless pissed out of their heads, are a lot less honest about this than men are.
As I have teenage kids, I see plenty of teenage behavior, and having lived in a number of countries and visited many more (so you need to try offer logic and reason instead of dropping comments like me living in sheltered life which through designed to belittle me simply act upon you).
I am well aware of how much this happens when teenage hormones are flowing and they are less aware of the consequences of their behavior.
So you are suggesting that there are gay communities in Brighton and Manchester where the women queue up at the public toilets just like gay men - I really would like to see the some evidence for this.
Australia is reasonably liberal and I cannot see why if lesbians wanted to skulk in the sand dunes or public toilets they would be doing so as much as the men do - but they dont.
I recall an early presentation gay parade that I attended in the 90's in Cape Town where the gay males were working really hard to be sexually demonstrative, with lots of simulated humping through the parade, while the women were certainly not shy about their affections to each other but it had a far less carnal aspect than did the men.
I am also well aware that 'respectable married women' (spare me the badly veiled sarcasm and try stick to an objective position) are capable of being cheating and and acting upon their desires, just not as good at being upfront about it all.
One reason I have an issue with selling the myth that men and women are equally promiscuous
came about because of a story I heard from a teenage girl who had slept a couple of times with a male friend in a circle of teenage kids we know quite well. She now wanted something more from this young man who was clearly just interested in the sex when it was freely offered and had very little interest in anything deeper. The girl wanted my wife to explain if it was supposed to be just as OK for women to sleep around as men, things like this should not be happening. Sadly, she has been well indoctrinated by a situation that gets sold but is not real. Aside from her different emotional reaction to the sex, she will get judged by both the males and females. I get frustrated when I see the power of any social lobby that is trying to peddle something not backed by the facts.

You're so right, Lak. All this thinking is making my little brain hurt.
Would that be egg-mayo or chicken in your sammich? And may I have a small sip of your beer?

Yes - you're not really getting the hang of this whole back-up-your-assertions thing, are you. You saying ''such a thing doesn't happen" does not count - I think I've already been over this.
There is something you are overlooking here, which you really should not be doing. There is an argument that gay men and gay women cannot be compared in the narrow way which you are attempting in your ''argument'' here. Women are know to be demonstrably affectionate to each other in a way that men are not, and it is accepted with women in a way that it is not accepted with men. They're known to hang out at each other's houses, nattering with each other and talking about boys and shoes far more than men. The opportunity for them to be alone is always there, whereas men have to skulk about, according to you. Women have been quietly having sex with each other with no one being any the wiser, since they have much more of an opportunity. This coupled with the fact that it's not physically as easy for two women to have sex as it is for two men could be why you see less of it occurring. Women have to become more undressed, they have to manoeuvre themselves into less hastily rectified positions. I suppose it could also take longer to reach completion. They also, it can be argued, have greater access to the privacy necessary than their male counterparts because they so often meet up alone and in private to do all that simpering and twittering and comparing handbags. That doesn't mean they're doing it less, it means you're not seeing it to the same extent.
