Both women and men are allowed to pass judgement on others based on their sexual histories.

It isn’t sexist. Women aren’t entitled to critical immunity.

On the other hand, if someone is a terrible person then that’s exactly what I’d like to know _before_ sleeping with them as part of a mission to gain their love.
