Hello Hollywood. Women should sleep with as many as they want to.


Hello Hollywood Cinema,

Stop slutshaming women. Stop surpressing them with made up morals and empty chauvinistic chick flicks that don't resemble anything like the complex lives of the women I know. And stop judging people by numbers that are absolutely irrelevant to who they are. Everyone decides individually what they feel is appropriate in their life, number of sex partners included. Have sex with a hundred if you want to. No one decides what's right but the person themselves, men, women, queers included.

Have a good one.

Love,
Europe

Oh for Pete's sake... there's as little as obnoxious as decrying "slutshaming."

Nobody wants Puritanism, but debauchery is not to be lauded by anyone

I don't see debauchery anywhere in this film. And I don't see women's debauchery as a world wide problem. Or a problem in Hollywood Cinema. So I think your skepticism is quite misplaced (and obnoxious too). Slutshaming happens. I don't understand why you should be bothered by it not happening.

To be honest it may actually become one. I believe in people having sex when they want with consenting adults, but I also believe in the concept of marriage, and a family.

If a man or a woman wants to have a large number of sexual partners, then if they can find those people. then great.

But the point of marriage is to establish exclusive sexual rights to one another, and to let everyone else now that they are committed to one another as a couple (ideally) who are supposed to be in love.

When you go out and date, you need to be up front about what you want. And I think the realm of men being the ones who slept around with a lot of women find their territory being muscled in on by sexually liberated women. But that the backlash is from women who still believe love out to be the criteria for sex.

Make of that what you will.

I agree

Spread of STDs, teen pregnancy, abortions, single parent families, divorce etc.

Of course debauchery is a world wide problem.

Believe it or not, most women aren't super feminist. So STFU. Your the kind of people who turn women away from supporting their own.

How am I like that?

And I'm completely fine with the women who aren't "super-feministic". They can be whatever they want to be. I just don't believe in a moral that involves lowering women's self-esteem by telling them they can't be sexual beings. People can be whatever they feel is right. That's not feminism, thats freedom from one norm amongst others, that makes humanity feel like *beep*

Honestly guys who have slept with 20 women is a bit too much for me too.

Relax. It's a comedy.

Haha 'Love Europe'!

Hear hear Kristina, don't waste your time on this board, it's a lost cause - just gotta leave Americans to their own devices and their own witch huntin' ways!

reply

Kristina: Agree with you, though in this case, three women wrote the screenplay based on a novel written by a woman and Anna Faris (who is why I've seen this twice) was executive producer. Still with you, though 😊

Will first of all shame on you for using "the Q word" kind of highly uncalled for. But other than that I agree, not only why care how many men went there first, but why even keep track? A woman's – or man's for that matter – number, before during and after marriage, it really doesn't mean anything. And I love the way you put it, to stop slutshaming over something as inconsequential as sex!

reply

Thanks Dave! And I'm sorry if we've misunderstood each other. I use the term queer in the new way lgbt-communities use it. It's actually much less offensive for me to say, then other words that can categorize and exclude people more.

They explain the term's story in wiki if you want to check it out: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queer

But thanks for reacting though. That would have been uncalled for namecalling.

reply

I just re-read my first post. The term also covers people who dont identify solely as either male or female, therefore "men, women, queers included".
