Playa's and Sluts

My essay issay is going to be about the unequal treatment of women vs. men. I will start my argument by going over some of the cruel things that happened in The Scarlett Letter. For example, when any women sleepes with another man besides her husband she is commiting adultry. On the other hand, when the man cheats on his wife the communtiy does not look at him as commitng adultry, but rather commiting lechery. In society back in the 17th century the persception of adultry was a lot worse of a crime than lechery. This makes no sense conssiderding that they are commiting the exact same crime. The woman, who is Hester in this case, gets tourmented for a whole 7 years about the crime, while the name of her accomplice doesn't even come about. The man that she cheats with doesn't even give his name up for 7 years and then he kills himself because he thinks he has been tortured for all of those years. Hester was the real person who had been tortured for all of those years. After explaining how the two genders were treated differently for the same crime, I am goin to talk about how the same thing happens in this day and age. Although the legal system these days treats men and woman the same, the eyes of the public has a completely different perseption. These day's when a girl sleeps with a large number of men she is immidiatly considered a slut. Not only is she considered a slut by the men, she is also considered a slut by her fellow girlfriends. On the other hand, when a guy gets his mac on and sleeps with a bunch of girls, he is immidiatly considered a player. This will all just add to my argument that the treatment of the two genders has been the same since the 17th century.
