Sexist double standards anger me so DAMN much. I know from personal experience, it's complete and utter bullshit.
I have a really good friend, who's a guy, okay? He is a bit of a man-whore. He doesn't cheat or lead girls on and make them beleive they're going long-term or anything (unless they are) and nobody calls him out on anything, even though he himself knows he gets around, well, more than average. I go out with a guy for a month, we part ways, on equal terms, I get on with my damn life and date another guy two weeks later whom I've been with for six-seven months now. "Slut" and "Whore" were pretty common phrases I heard around school for a few weeks at the start of our relationship. Me and my good friend were just "The hell?" and he even admitted that was screwed up. No one ever called him out on having his arm around a new girl every month. (Okay, exageration there.)
That is fucked up right there. I wonder if any guy in the House of Fucking Night series will ever get called out on bullshit like that. (Probably not, since they're all willing to be virginal until they can have their turn with Zoey. *eye-roll*.
