That's what the term is yeah, regardless of the societal negativity/positivity (dunno what to actually call it) of it

So does that mean you don't think of it in a negative way?

Personally, no, but the question is irrelevant anyways.

Then what exactly are you criticizing in your first comment?

Good question. The joke is about one partner only having been with a few people, whilst the other has been many. I am criticizing the fact that, according to the original commenter, the joke is funnier and more realistic if we make the woman to be more the more promiscuous (sluttier) of the two.

I thought the original comment basically just said that he usually heard the joke the other way round, not that it was more realistic or funnier the other way

Could be, I was merely reacting based on my perspective of it

Which there is nothing wrong with according to you

Right. I don't find that switching the roles changes anything about the joke.
