For some reason, probably because its so damn funny, I have been thinking a lot about the advice that the Grandfather gives Dwayne in the van on the way to the pageant in Little Miss Sunshine. “Fuck a lot of women, not one woman. A lot of women.” This is advice that generally can only be shared from one man to another. I doubt that there are many grandmothers that would sit their grand-daughter down and tell her to have sex with as many guys as possible, except maybe the grandmother from Beerfest (she was a German whore). Society allows for men to be more promiscuous than women without as much reproach or condemnation for their actions. It is as if men are expected to be more sexual creatures than their counter-parts, but I do not think that this double standard has as wide of a gap than people think. Even though it may be socially acceptable for male to have more sexual partners than females, anyone, male or female, that has a large number of different partners is looked down upon in one way or another. Whores are whores regardless of their sex.
