Women, on the other hand, generally dislike promiscuous women, maybe even ''more so'' than men.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Women_write_45.0-61.3.25_of_all_.27misogynistic.27_tweets_on_Twitter_about_female_promiscuity</ref> One reason is that sluts present a risk of destabilizing their current relationship by seducing their male partner. Another, possibly more important reason, is that women being too generous with their sexual favors 'lowers' the [[sexual economics theory|price of sex]]. If women are overly promiscuous, it makes sex easier to obtain (at least for some men). This makes men less willing to invest into committed relationships and invest large amounts of resources in women. Women colluding against sluts is called the [[pussy cartel]]. | |||
Female [[slut-shaming]] can also be explained by intrasexual competition. If female chastity is valued by males (at least for long-term partners), then women can derogate and reduce the mate value of female rival by implying that a female rival is overly promiscuous, especially in relation to themselves. This strategy can, therefore, help a woman reduce the mate value and social status of a female rival, while possibly also making it easier to secure a [[chad|particularly desirable male partner]] for herself. | |||
There is indeed evidence that the female hatred of sluts may be even greater than males dislike of sluts (likely due to female intrasexual competition), for example studies have found that woman (even other sluts) have more negative perceptions of sluts than men,<ref>https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/0265407513487638</ref> women dehumanize and seek to harm promiscuous women,<ref>https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0956797619836106</ref> and women write the majority of tweets that contain anti-slut slurs.<ref>https://www.brandwatch.com/blog/react-will-twitter-ever-free-misogynistic-abuse/</ref> | There is indeed evidence that the female hatred of sluts may be even greater than males dislike of sluts (likely due to female intrasexual competition), for example studies have found that woman (even other sluts) have more negative perceptions of sluts than men,<ref>https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/0265407513487638</ref> women dehumanize and seek to harm promiscuous women,<ref>https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0956797619836106</ref> and women write the majority of tweets that contain anti-slut slurs.<ref>https://www.brandwatch.com/blog/react-will-twitter-ever-free-misogynistic-abuse/</ref> | ||
One study found women constrain each other's sexuality even more than men constrain it.<ref>http://www.femininebeauty.info/suppression.pdf</ref> | |||
