Stop acting like sluts. The gist of my column was that we're playing with semantics to make bad behavior seem nice. Reader response, as always, has been instructive. True enough, it takes two to tango, and it's not fair to put the onus only on girls.
Society remains guilty as charged for applying a double standard to sexual behavior.
The solution, assuming you consider being a slut a problem, is difficult to explain to today's youth. Having grown up during postsexual revolution times, when sex is ubiquitous and consequences easily remedied, they've never known another way. All of which is so, if you believe sex is only a physical act. In other words, disease and unwanted pregnancy are what's wrong with sex. Teens often don't.
