There are fundamental words that we use for users, and gigolos and male prostitutes. Women are not offended by using these words to describe those scummy men.

Gigolo has a generally positive meaning. Definitely not nearly as negative as whore.

Yet women who indulge in the same behavior are exempt from the harsh criticism they deserve by using the equivalent words.

The words aren’t equivalent, because the sexual status of men and women in our society isn’t equivalent.

Speaking for myself. I am offended by the women on Fox for indulging in obviously shallow manipulative behavior designed to sell me evil with the thought that I am so out of control of my man parts that such a thing will work.

Sure. But it’s got nothing to do with sex in particular. It’s just manipulation. They try to get you through a lust for violence too, and a desire to belong to the ‘in’ group.
