Mike – first of all, sluttish is a loaded word. It is only ever used of females
M Jackson.
that’s because that is what the word means. The accepted denotative meaning is a sexually promiscuous woman (Merriam-Webster) or “a woman of a low or loose character; a bold or impudent girl; a hussy, jade.” (OED, 2nd edition).
If you wanted to use a male term you could use these: a person who lacks the ability or chooses not to exercise a power of discernment to order their affairs, such as a cad, rake, or womanizer.
so now you want to change the entire english language because some word meanings offend you?
A girl that goes out gets drunks and sleeps with someone she doesn’t know is a slut. If she excepts gifts or money she is a whore. A guy that does that is a womenizer, a bastard, a loser choice your term but he is not a slut.
