The Storm Reflection

I found the story to be an interesting reversal of fortune for women. It is usually all about the men and their sexual conquests. The main character of this story changes the tables and indulges in her sexual pleasure with an old friend. Of course, adultery is usually frowned upon, but it is obvious that there is a double standard when it comes to the opposite sex. Men will generally be excused from such activity and in some cultures it is even encouraged and revered. Something that is seen in all cultures is the frowning upon promiscuous women. Even worse is infidelity by women, as they are usually required to be the faithful of the two while the men get a pass on most occasions. We discussed the morality of the issue but I think she deserves a little more credit and we should get past the social stigma and misogynistic ways of thinking.
