I'm not even saying this is a bad thing, but I don't know why people like to pretend that sex positive social norms aren't mainstream. We live in a post-sexual revolution, largely virtual dating world that provides women with dozens of immediately accessible suitors that they're encouraged to explore. It's taboo to slut shame or have body count discussions nowadays. Contraception is more accessible than it has ever been and discourses about consent are required in basically every institution where genders intermingle via Title IX.

Again, I don't necessarily have a problem with any of these things, most of it is a net positive. For some reason, though, women on here still speak as if we're living in the 90's when it comes to female sex positivity. My experience as a man might be at play here, but I've unironically seen more men be shamed for calling women derogatory names based on their promiscuity than I've seen women actually shamed for being promiscuous. Hell, I haven't even seen the word "slut" used unironically since like 2016 lmao.

It's similar to when men complain about breadwinner expectations and gold diggers when more than half the female population is in the workforce and single income households are a rarity; it's a classic complaint from a time past being parroted despite it having no real basis in the modern gender relations. It feels like one of those things people just accept as true because it was true for so long in the past. There are still many unfair expectations and assumptions women face in the dating world, but this doesn't really seem like one of them anymore.
