Jersey Shore

This past week I have been catching up on my Jersey Shore episodes since I haven't been able to watch them at their normal time lately. Jersey Shore is not one of my favorite shows, but I do find it entertaining. Just like many MTV shows that have come before them, it is interesting to see how complete strangers act when put together under one roof.


The episode that sticks out in my mind the most is the episode where Pauly calls Angelina a slut. Angelina points out that she is a single girl, and that she can do whatever she wants. She also points out the Pauly and Mike bring home girls every weekend, and no one calls them sluts or man whores. He then goes on to say that guys can do things like that but girls can't.


This is a prime example of the sexual double standard in our society. Men can do whatever or whoever they want and there aren't any consequences. Girls do anything out of the ordinary, and they are labeled as sluts and whores.
