Male vs. Female Sex life

The last class we had was very interesting. I never realized how differently men and women were treated relating to their sexual life. Men could sleep with a ton of females and be a hero, versus a woman in the same situation would be considered a slut. It's very interesting how the perception changes with your gender. Another example is an older man is considered a pervert when looking at a younger woman, versus the female in the same situation would be considered a cougar. Both of those terms have negative meaning. An image can last a life time, and it causes women to stay on their toes and watch what they're doing when they shouldn't have to. I would hope that someday this will change, and harsh words could not be used to diminish people for their actions. A persons personal life is their business, and their choices are their choices, and they do not need to be labeled for it, especially in a diminishing way.
