A man wants to have sex with a beautiful, sexy woman who knows how to please him sexually. Some women think they can never be that woman that they aren't beautiful enough or sexy enough, or else they are afraid of the stigma society puts on a woman like that. Society puts down women that are overtly sexual even though deep down most men want a woman like that and somewhere inside, most women want to be like that woman. Yet those women are still labeled as whores, sluts, tramps, harlots, etc while men who are openly sexual are studs and such, they are praised for their sexual conquests while women are scolded. "Good women" are supposed to tame the bad boys after they have sowed their wild oats with "loose women". The men settle down with the good girls while the others aren't considered good enough to marry and be mothers. Yet, these men often go back to the other women, leave those wives and mothers or at the least cheat on them with the "other women". Society does not let the mother/wife be that sexy woman so she ends up losing her man to the "other women".

Women should be able to be openly sexual without fear of repercussions. A man's sexuality is never challenged or brought up in court or in regards to his moral character (unless he's gay). While if a woman is raped, abused, or attacked- how she acts, what she was wearing and her past sexuality is brought up, which should have no bearing what so ever on anything. If I walk around in a low cut top and short skirt, that doesn't give anyone the right to have sex with me and I'm not asking for "it" or anything else. A woman's sexuality is also brought up in custody battles. So what if she has a boyfriend or 10, I've never heard anyone be judgmental or even bring up how many women the father is sleeping with after the couple separates (even if infidelity is why the couple split to begin with). A woman should be able to walk around naked if she wanted to without fear of being raped or fear that people will say she was asking for "it".

Takeaways
  • Society dictates that a woman can't be sexual and still be a good mother and wife
  • women should be able to be openly sexual beings without fear and repurcussions from society
  • A man's sexuality is never in question as to whether or not he can be a good husband or father
Did You Know?
The only time a man's sexuality is questioned in regards to his moral or ethical behavior (other than if he's being charged with a sex crime) is if he's gay or suspected of being gay

oh my lord i always thought that nobody would ever understand my mind.that was until i read your article.thank you for enlightening the people.i agree with every word you said. thanks for the article sweetie.maybe you should write an article about women being allowed to wear what they want.like in my neighbourhood there are so many boys who walk around wearing absolutely nothing but a pair of shorts and no shirt on.nobody says anything about that but if im a girl and i wear a low cut dress then some may say that im a "tart" or "bimbo".we do need equality.thank you very much!

Well J.C Hagan Obviously you're a man. If you were a woman you'd understand the inequality we still suffer, especially when it comes to our sexuality. Have you ever been part of a custody trial? Don't make comments on things you know nothing about.

"A man's sexuality is never challenged or brought up in court or in regards to his moral character" REALLY? What planent have you been living on? Most of this feels like it was writting in 1973, but the way you've characterized our legal system and society here in 2006 is ridiculous. Do I think there's an equal standard (which is really what you should be asking for)? Not quite, but it's a lot closer than you lead on here.
