What are the derogatory terms our culture has for the select group of the male sex that our promiscuous? I can only gather a limited list, this includes: pig, gigolo, and macho. There appears to be a relationship between these words that becomes apparent. Excluding pig, which has probably formed from the relatively recent feminist movement and is used for a wealth of male negative qualities, gigolo and macho are from cultures separate from our own. Gigolo coming from Italy and macho from Latin America. This is interesting when you consider our vocabulary for promiscuous women is far more extensive; bitch, slut, whore, skunk, jezebel, madam, mistress, lady of the night, street walker, hussy, ho, and sperm dumpster. Each one of these can be traced back to English language. Why do we find it ok to associate our own culture with promiscuous women but find it absolutely unthinkable to directly relate promiscuous men?

Player and stud are terms that our society has constructed for men who hold power over women and can make them forsake their morals for lust, but these terms are used to reflect a positive connotation for the ability to hold such power (and to wield it so indiscriminately). So, is it our view that the promiscuous actions of men in our culture are alright if not an obligation of being a man. It is then that the hypocrisy of our culture takes its form by expecting men to be wise and strong in their moral fiber and to still maintain their primal maleness with promiscuous actions. The hypocrisy continuous by demanding the impossible from women as well only their side of the deal is far less accommodating to their lusts. Women are expected to be sexy and to give in to men only to be called a slut for lacking the power to say no to men. Then on the reverse women who strive to hold to their moral strength are prudes for holding too much power. Damned if you do, damned if you don't scenario. It's almost as if men can do no wrong in our culture and every aspect of maleness is there for a positive, and every aspect of women in our culture must be analyzed to the point nothing they do is right.

Macho is a term that was once used by our culture to enforce positive promiscuity, just like player and stud is today. Examples of this can be found in movies and television shows from the seventies, such as Saturday Night Fever. Our culture more than likely changed the connotation of the word because of the negative views we have of Latin American immigrants. However, the question still remains of why we find it necessary to use other cultures to distance male evils from our culture and still find it just to relate our culture directly with the female evils.
