About This Quote

The line, “When exactly did every housewife in America become a whore?” is a humorous comment on the sexual double standard that still plagues our society. In this quote, James J. Kilpatrick, a conservative commentator and editor of the conservative newsletter “American Spectator”, wrote a provocative article entitled “Housewives: Sluts or Whores?” The ironic joke is that even though women can be either a whore or a good wife, most won’t choose to be a whore. This may be due to the social stigma that comes with being labeled as a whore. In the end, it is not what you do as much as who you are that determines how people see you.
