That mans a slut, that girls a pimp.

So, Snow white is ruined for me now as well as a lot of other movies I have been watching lately. Over all Glee is still a show that I watch and think does a good job of not getting too caught up in what every other t.v show does.  So many shows buy into the stereotypes, I guess the reason for this is because we buy into them as well. Rich professional woman are seen as bitchy, young defenseless woman are sexy, it is sexy to not be able to protect yourself. I think of the origins of why we think like this. Is it really because men in our society are threatened by woman. Do we really start wars because men and women roles in a society are equalizing. May bee to a certain point, but definitely not completely.  I don't know why we think like this, why have we accepted that boys can sleep around and be fine and girls when they sleep around are called sluts.  I don't think it is completely innate for guys to want to "spread there seeds" and girls want to stick to one person. I know girls and guys who want to sleep around and girls and guys who want relationships. So I do not think that this is the reason for the Virgin vs.Slut debate. In class we came to the conclusion that virginity is a commodity. This is painfully true. Why isn't virginity a commodity for boys? When did girls start to get traded like goods? Its not fair.
