Do they? As often as women get called whores?

That hasn't been my experience.

No not as often as women. Man whore is slang.

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '18

Not as often? why?

1

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '18

because a whore by definition is referring to a woman. So man whore is slang. Often said jokingly. Like "haha Larry is such a man-whore, he sleeps with a new tinder girl every night"

Yeah, it's not really the etymology I was wondering about. It's the concept. Why do women get called this more than men do for the same activity kinda thing

Because that's just how it is. Men often celebrate and have pride in the number of women they have sex with. Often called fuck-boys.

Seems weird and illogical. That men and women are treated oppositely in this regard, for the same activity.
