Lol. Yeah, tell that to all the women being called sluts and *****s for being sexually active, or the girls being told they deserved to be raped because they flirted and dressed scantily - society has an extreme double-standard when it comes to women's sexuality. It's a "damned if you do, damned if you don't"-situation. If you DON'T do it at all, you're a prude, and no one likes that. If you do it and people find out about it, you're a slut. Some guys encourage girls to be so-called "sluts" because it gets them sex, but those guys respect girls LESS for sleeping with them, which provokes me greatly. They just see the girls as stupid for falling for this or that trick or "easy" for sleeping with them, they don't see that they are doing the exact same thing - but somehow it's okay, and somehow they believe they're always the one in control.

As for men - while religion has certainly suppressed male sexuality too, to some extent, as religion in general isnt very in favour of sex, it has done so in a completely different way. Female purity has become something divine, taken to the extreme where a mother who is still "pure" is one of the main holinesses in the religion. And women like Maria Magdalena, temptresses, have been portrayed as sinful and dangerous women. If you really go into this stuff there's done plenty of researach on it.
