My problem with this article is that 1) it says women call women sluts. Although that is obviously true, many also call women sluts and this is one of the most vicious weapons they have in their arsenal. Don't pin all the blame on women. Men are attackers too.
2) By referring to these nebulous "most" or "many" women, the author is perpetuating an idea about the confused, victimized women. Just as women's sexual desires and pleasures come in all different forms, so does their internal feelings about sex.
Please don't make sweeping generalizations about women and their desires and feelings. You may think your article is promoting progressive views on sex, but these generalizations can also be damaging. If you are giving anecdotal evidence, treat it as such.
