The Stank

With each generation, taboo subjects are being thrown into the ring for discussion. Sex, for instance, is on the rise of acceptance--whenever and whomever you wish to have it with. Our generation is beginning to realize that personal choices are just that; personal, and may be unrealistic for others. And let's be honest--in college, we live in little rooms close to each other. Also, let's not forget the raging hormones that are sparked by viewing our neighbors in towels. Sex is going to happen.


Now, as a 20 year old female in the time I live in, men and women are almost equal--almost. Some problems still exist, such as sexual positions in society (no pun intended). There are many negative words for sexually active females:

Slut, whore, wench, skank, tramp, hooker, hussy... The list can go on.

This I find completely unfair for various reasons:

1. It takes two to tango horizontally. Think about it.

2. I have experienced more females let down after false promises were made just to get into the sack. So why are there so many negative names for females when it's hard enough to avoid a broken heart?

3. Last time I checked, we can all wear pants now. Women should have the same freedom to express ourselves sexually without wondering what people will think. 

Men don't, at least not to the same degree. The worst insult I can think of that applies to men is one I mentioned above, with man slapped to the front (such as man slut, man whore). So when I thought of which word would describe sexually active men, I thought of the word STANK. Like skank, but with a T. This 't' could stand for 'too much vagina' if you will.

Or, we could act our age and drop the name calling. Don't judge someone for making a different choice then you--or the same one as you for that matter--just because of their sex. 

Till next time, think about what you say--and be safe!
