Well, I think that statement is influenced by patriarchy culture and historical fact that woman is always less equal than man. That's why such negative term for woman with more than one partner exists in people's mind. It can also be considered as gender bias. However, what happens in society nowadays is that women can show up, be as successful as men in any sectors of industry and even superior. Thus, people must accept the fact that man and woman are created by God equally.

The above post can be contended on a number of levels. It's not fully established that the issue mentioned above is all there is to culture... infact, ALL cultures. Focusing on that one grain of sand in this particular case is indeed misleading.

Moreover, it assumes that God exists and all of us have resolved our existential conflicts. Sweeping and highly amusing.

Also, that society is capable of creating rules at its whim and does so conciously, if at all. This fact ends up implying that the WHOLE society can equally contribute to this making of the rules since all of it's members hold equally powerful and influential positions when it comes to 'rule making'

Besides, the question is extremely simplistic since it gives the idea that gender is the only line along which stratification cuts across.

I shall be looking forward to see where this discussion progresses.=]

when women have more than one 'partner', they are called w... but men with multiple partners are champions. was it hammered into our thinking by God or is the society responsible for creating this impression?
