Whore isn't really a term that describes any one sex. A man can be a whore.
I disagree. I regularly hear the word "manwhore" instead, which differentiates the two.
Though as man i don't really have a problem with being called a manwhore (unless people tell their female friends I've never met that i am). I think a woman on the other hand would not like to be labelled a whore.
Am I the only one who doesn't think that itstimetopaytheprice was being unfair ?
itstimetopaytheprice defends her use of the term very well.
there's nothing wrong with calling a spade a spade.
2X is an interesting place. I really enjoy it, and I comment frequently there, but I have found that there are many who will jump on you if you don't toe the feminist line at all times.
I get that not all women with multiple sexual partners are whores, nor are women that have been treated for STDs. I wouldn't jump to label every promiscuous woman as a whore. But, sometimes "whore" is the word to use. It doesn't mean you hate women, it just means that this particular woman hit a nerve when she claimed that she banged itstimetopaytheprice's boyfriend.
She could have tempered her description by pointing out that there are guys who behave the same way. As it is, she took a term used specifically to denigrate females and left it at that, thus leaving herself open to criticism.
This is not to say her anger isn't justified. How she chose to express her anger is what's in question.
Please don't lead the trolls to 2X.
