Sluts, Studs and Losers
Wednesday, November 9th, 2011I just saw the following tweet:
I don’t think it’s fair that when women have sex with lots of men they’re “sluts,” but when I have sex with lots of women I’m “dreaming.”
It’s obviously funny. That’s what I thought at first.
But there’s also a deeper meaning. Modern societies care greatly about women being called “sluts”, while men have the luxury to be referred to as “studs”. It’s not fair, according to feminists and just about everyone else.
But who gives a fuck about men who cannot laid at all, even if their life depended on it?
Women may have to worry about being called sluts, but there are far more men than women who are not even part of the sexual marketplace.
This discrepancy in sexual value is due to women being the sellers and men the buyers, and the sellers determine the price and if there will be a transaction at all.
Why are women the sellers? Well, to be crude, they have a uterus – and men don’t. This means that women have always owned something precious, something which is absolutely crucial for humanity to survive.
Sperm, however, are cheap. Millions are produced every hour in a fertile man, and they are readily replaced after each ejaculation.
At the end of the day, women simply bring something more important to the sexual transaction, at least evolutionary speaking. Today we may have contraceptives, and not care about the reproductive part of sex. But we are still deeply affected by the evolutionary programs that are part of our brain and our consciousness.
Translated into sexual economics, this means that the average women finds it fairly easy to get laid, whereas the average man finds it fairly difficult. Long term relationships are another story – we’re talking about plain old sex here.
Rereading the tweet above, it’s evident that it’s both funny and (for many men) deeply realistic at the same time:
I don’t think it’s fair that when women have sex with lots of men they’re “sluts,” but when I have sex with lots of women I’m “dreaming.”
Next time someone tells you that the slut label is unfair, please let that person know that there are worse things than being called a slut.
