I sit corrected:

>The corresponding word for slut is I believe roue'.

Yes indeedy, my off the cuff bachelor vs slut reply was thoroughly wrong, wrong,
wrong.  Indeed, roue or rake or libertine would be lexicographically more
correct opposites of slut.

On the other hand, I believe the double standard for *acceptability* of
lasciviousness in males vs females still stands.  That part has not yet been
refuted by anyone on the net (should I have waited longer for a reply?)

And while we're at it, since the subject line is about rape:
	A woman's "looseness of character" (ref: slut) in no way affects her
right to "say no" at any time, regardless of what activites preceeded her
decision that she wants not what seems pending.  Only consensual activites
(whether sexual *or* violent) do *not* constitute "rape".  Further, I believe
"rape" could be entirely non-physical...i.e. psychological rape.
