On word "Whore"

On my one previous post (here), 'Beyond' wrote a comment. I agree completely and don't feel like adding anything except to answer that probably we use monogamy as a tool to treat our insecurities.

 "I feel sad for a whore in any case. The term itself is very derogatory towards female gender. There is no male equivalent for men in common language. The idea that a woman will know men better if she has sold herself physically is revolting. It may be true but paints a very bleak picture of this world. Why is the idea of marriage so appealing to masses? If a woman is with several men, it is considered a taboo. If she is married to a man, all is well. Monogamy makes us very comfortable. Please blog about it mystic, someday."

What I meant is that a woman is considered normal if she is in a monogamous relationship. In other words, she is tied and controlled. If a man is polygamous, which he is allowed to in some religions and cultures, it is considered all right. My comment was that more or less, for individuals in society, a married woman is less threatening. Why is that? A single man is not heard of in there 30s or 40s, a single woman in 20s is shocking for some.

Interesting but I fully agree with both of you. I am unable to tell the difference between "whore" and "slut" may be whore is professional and slut is not. There may be more differences but I always placed slut as a derogratory word until the other day I saw Melissa HP talk show in which she presented girls wearing "I am proud to be a slut" kind of things and talks were directed toward that also (I did not see the whole program) which I got completely confused and am still so. My hearing being deficient I must depend on captioning and so my question to both of you or any other reader is to enlighten me
