Men are sluts

I hear it on a regular basis. Especially from young men.
Whether it's overheard conversations, read online (we had this out with bmwcaw a while back, remember?) or in editorials, it's definitely an attitude that's still out there.

Ali, you raise a very interesting point.
I would never judge a woman on the amount of sexual partners she has had - it matters as little to me as how many pairs of shoes she has owned. But I would have an opinion (however unfair it is of me) on a woman with children by multiple partners. My opinion of a man with children by multiple partners would be the same.

It's nothing to do with morals - just with the practical issue that a father who does not live with his children cannot possibly have the same parental impact on a child's life as a father who does. I accept that long term relationships break up, and it is incredibly hard for both parents, trying to sort out responsible visitation. I am not writing about these situations.

I mean people who start a relationship with a baby. It's over by the time the baby is born. Well, as long as the baby is loved... But then to go out and start the next relationship with a baby... and the next.

It seems remarkably common in Celebville - I know they have the money to support multiple children/ partners, but what about the time? I read recently that Keith Allen (British comedian/ actor, father of Lily) has 8 children by 6 women. I guess they don't all get to spend Christmas with Daddy, then. Or Fathers Day.
