The male equivalent to slut shaming, virgin shaming?

'Slut shaming' is something that I've heard mentioned a hell of a lot in my life recently (on TSR too), and I was wondering how people would then respond to the male equivalent, which to me would be sexual inexperience/the ageing virgin. We're told now that women should not be ridiculed for promiscuity, as they are sexual beings and we need to break down the walls of patriarchy and promote sexual freedom.

Then, why do we still ridicule men so much for being sexually inexperienced? We all know that the ageing male virgin is an object of cultural ridicule. I mean, how many times have you heard a guy insulted (particularly on the internet) for being a 'pathetic virgin'? Probably several thousand times. This applies perfectly to TSR, the amount of times I've heard girls (and guys too tbf) respond with 'you need to get laid' or 'obviously a virgin'. Often these are said with no basis, merely because they disagreed with them, particularly if its something relating to feminism. So what do people think?





(Anticipating somebody responding with I need to get laid or something, so mentioning this should stop any cheap repwhoring. I think this applies to women to some extent too, but no more than 'slut shaming' does for men imo. And also not nearly as damaging, in both cases)

I don't ridicule men for being sexually inexperienced - it's usually men doing that too

It's not really aimed at women exclusively. Women call other women sluts a lot too...

I don't

Who cares what anyone says about your/anyone else's level of sexual experience anyway??

Lol that's irrelevant.

I don't personally, but you can't be so blind to see that sex is a massive part of a (particularly younger) person's identity.

I've probably forgotten - I'm 47 so it's all in my past lol

I'm not sure about the slut thing with girls, but a lot of guys will get offended at you calling them a virgin.

I would assume that it's the same with girls when they're called sluts.

No women have ever called me one that I know of and if they did I wouldn't give a toss

It's a meaningless word to me as their opinion of my sexual habits is irrelevant to me

Being called unattractive - that would get to me, but a slut implies you get lots of sex so why is it hurtful??

I'd never call a man a virgin or imply he was or be bothered if he was as it's nothing to be shamed of

That's good that it doesn't effect you, but it's hurtful to a lot of other people.

The negative connotations in society, I guess.

I'd call someone a virgin regardless of gender. It's equally an insult.

I completely agree, I love how TSR's resident "promiscuous" girl likes to insult some people because of their virginity but gets offended when someone points out the fact no one wants to get with someone so used up.

I've never seen you call a woman here a virgin before.

Disgusting.

That's sometimes in jest...situation depending. Either way as for the virgin thing it'd be an insult to either party. I don't really do this though... Tbf its mainly men who would mock other men for being virgins or whatever but yes sometimes girls make snide comments (esp. on here) like 'obviously a version' and what not.
