Rakes and hoes. Hoes and rakes.



rake: noun
a dissolute or profligate person, especially a man who is licentious (Promiscuous and unprincipled in sexual matters), profligate
Origin:
1645–55; see rakehell
Synonyms
libertine, lecher, womanizer.

whore: noun
a woman who engages in promiscuous sexual intercourse, usually for money; prostitute; harlot; strumpet.

Someone asked in a thread a while back, "What's the male equivalent of a hoe?"

I answered with 'rake'.

It seemed to go right over people's heads.

Why does 'hoe' carry such vitriol, yet, 'rake' carries none at all?

Both are names of garden tools and synonyms for sexual promiscuity.

But, no one ever spits 'You fucking rake!" at a man and uses it as an insult.

Fuck your double standards, society. Fuck you hard with them.
