But the meme is only an example, the question itself doesn’t mention gender once I think?
Comment on Where's the Line Between Slut Shaming & Criticizing Promiscuity?

This entire meme is bullshit because if you simply substitute a guy in there instead of a gal then nobody gives a shit about the guy or they even celebrate the guy. So… this is 100% slut shaming along with some liberties taken to debase their character in additional ways.
Want to criticize promiscuity? Then do that… if gender is even mentioned, then it’s not longer about promiscuity.

This is a good point. I also would say this… To criticizie promiscuity properly, you hve to criticize male promiscuity. That is absolutely the case. Fornication is bad, either way.
Let’s say, though, I had used a meme poking fun at male pickup artists (PUAs)… Would it get 5+ downvotes in an hour?

Men and women are not a blank slate, though… Even in rather liberated, forward minded socieites with great gender equality, it tends to be the case that men are more pursuant of sexual relationships, and that men also tend to be the greater amount of people deep into addiction to pxrn and other things…
Women who want to sleep with men can pursue a man, establish a long-term relationship and sleep with him… Or not. They can also sleep with many men.
But even very attractive men are like baseball players out there - a hot guy will have a batting average of .300+ when he is out approaching women randomly on the street, and we are talking about getting phone numbers here, not taking women to bed.
An unattractive male will struggle to pull an unattractive female on a Friday night out clubbing with that express goal… An unattractive male would not struggle much to even pull an average male.
That’s a lot of text just to say that there is not an exact 1:1 gender equal comparison here…
And so a male who sleeps with a lot of women is viewed as very skilled and lucky, because it’s VERY HARD to do that.
A guy has to be very attractive to sleep with 100 women who are average or above average looking in a year, and he has to be dedicated, really running through those apps and filling his week.
An average girl can sleep with 100 men in a year who are average or better by opening a single account & letting her inbox fill up.
