Slut shaming. Pretty common in the lower levels of the media. Lapped up by the usual suspects.
This is an excellent article which says more than I ever could
http://www.theguardian.com/commentis...ss-shame-women
"Of course, the men featured in the footage will never be named, will never be made to feel bad about "performing sex acts" on camera. Why should they? Men's sexual behaviour is not policed in the same way: if a man and a woman have sex in public, he is a stud and she is a disgusting slut who deserves to die. It is unknown whether the drunken sex games of British tourists abroad have ever included young men going down on up to 30 women at once, but one suspects that if they have, the images would not be considered newsworthy, although they might merit some sort of award for lingual stamina.
The role of class hatred in this narrative deserves attention. The British press loves to hate women, but it particularly loves to hate specific, usually working-class, women who are singled out as symbols of moral degradation, offered money if they cooperate with the public humiliation which will happen with or without their consent. Journalists are currently descending on Magaluf, and we can anticipate a month or two of horror stories about a kingdom of sun and sin where the dignity of working-class women goes to die. Nobody is covering what goes on behind the scenes in Mustique or Monaco

Great article, and a valid point - slut is hardly a pejorative when hurled at a bloke.
But look at the comments on that article:
"Those women seem to have done a fine job shaming themselves before the press got involved imho"
Along with dozens of other comments of a similar almost misogynistic slant; admittedly some of the comments are somewhat more balanced, but some just beggar belief.
So the girl involved as had her name trawled through the mud, and will be stigmatized for her behaviour same as the lass at the Eminem gig but the lads involved are essential anonymous.
“'Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit; wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.”.
Not as bad as American kids on their Spring break.
What year , what location , and which crowd you hang with .
I've done many a Spring Breaks , and never ever have witnessed anything of this sort.
Maybe I wasn't hanging at the 'working class' joints.
:rolleyes : at 'working class' distinction . 'Slutty behaviour' is just that : slutty behaviour , regardless if done in a
spit on the floor bar or at a high end hotel. But it seems to me that 'common behaviour' seems more common
amongst 'common people'. Whatever nationality.
It is sad though that the 'boys will be boys' is still alive and well all across , all through all nationalities and their
media.
Exception to the 'boys will be boys' , perhaps , is Sweden , where they want to 'outlaw' boys peeing standing.
Now that's just as mad / bad imo .
I do what I want. I cannot do otherwise.
