- Joan Rivers

About this Quote

In this quote, Joan Rivers is highlighting the double requirement that exists in between males and females when it pertains to sexual behavior. She mentions that society typically permits guys to participate in promiscuous habits without dealing with any consequences or judgment, while ladies are roughly slammed and identified as "tramps" for making even a few mistakes. This highlights the deeply ingrained sexism and misogyny that still exists in our society, where males are praised for their sexual conquests while women are shamed and stigmatized. Rivers is calling attention to this unfair and unequal treatment of ladies, and difficult society to rethink its mindsets towards female sexuality.
