For all the talk of a greater acceptance of female sexuality in our culture, the madonna-whore model is clearly very much alive and well.

It seems that just as some males have a madonna-whore complex where females are seen as either asexual or hypersexual, many young females have what we could call a “bad boy - nice guy complex,” where males are only placed at one of those poles.

The reason that the madonna-whore complex cannot explain the lack of female proactiveness is this: there are some ways that a woman can initiate asking a guy out, asking for his number, telling him she likes him that would not automatically make her branded a slut, at least over here.

The madonna-whore complex did NOT seem like a strong enough explanation for the lack of female sexual proactiveness.

Now you or Aegis havent still explained why you think this view about male and female “rank” and sexuality hasnt much to do with rape… Because indeed the views about sexuality are very much cultural and social (well of course biology is involved too), and things like “madonna-whore” complex and (male) homophobia arent universal or biological…

Nevertheless, there may be other explanations of the lack of female proactivity that do not rest on the idea that females have a lower sex drive or on the madonna-whore complex.

I am kind of suspicious of the emphasis that some posters here give to the madonna-whore complex.

Add in some madonna-whore stuff passed on by Christians, thanks so much, and you see how interesting Prell’s thesis is.

It’s hard to believe that the madonna-whore complex is much of a deterrent when I virtually never hear a girl being called a “slut.”
