>But men who act like "sluts" are totally exempt from being branded as so and the thought of men sleeping around isn't "depressing"?

There are far more expectations and thus double standards towards men, but we don't complain as much because it isn't in our nature to complain. For example, male virginity is far more looked down upon than female virginity, men who behave in a feminine manner get branded sissies whereas women who behave in a female manner are just 'tomboys', men are expected to be stoic and strong and emotionless, not so for women, I could go on but I won't.

>Gender is not a factor.

Pretending it isn't is stupid. It quite clearly is.
