Oh, Ok. So to you a guy who is a promiscuous man would be or should be called a hero? A genius? A saint? Then to you it would follow that the same type of woman would be called a heroine, a saint, a genius? Of course .... so the point is way over your head ....

Either you neglected to read my post with comprehension or you were unable to.

Of course .... so the point is way over your head ....

Allow me to rephrase my point as simply as I can.

You claimed that there is a double standard because promiscuous women are called "sluts" and promiscuous men are called "studs."

I pointed out to you the painfully obvious fact that the word "stud" is not a complimentary word at all.

I then - follow this part closely - said that if a genuinely positive word, like "hero" or "saint" or "genius" were applied to promiscuous men instead of "stud" then you would be correct that there is a double standard.

However, the word "stud", unlike those other terms, is not complimentary. Therefore your imagined double standard does not really exist and the point you were trying to make was incorrect.

Do you comprehend my point now?

Or do I need to use even smaller words and paratactic sentences?
