Science was wrong - women are just as up for casual sex as men

To quote that infinitely wise movie, American Pie (1999), if you want to know the truth about the number of sexual partners a woman has had, multiply whatever response she gives by three. When asking a man, divide his answer by the same number.

Jessica (Tara Reid’s sexually sage pal) in American Pie calls this Rule Of Three an “exact science, consistent as gravity”. It even has it’s own Urban Dictionary page, external.

Back in 1859, Charles Darwin theorised that men are just biologically programmed, external to be promiscuous, while women are the naturally chaste sex. And while mores might be changing with time, it’s still the conventional wisdom today: where men are studs, women are slut shamed.
