It's easy for me to say (with a distance of several thousand miles from the news story) but, like some of the posters have already said, we don't know the full story. And calling some a 'whore' is a pretty significant value judgement on someone that none of us know...

That's without even getting into the whole gender politics of the word itself...

Anyway. It's late. I'm tired...

In general usage, whore is ANYBODY who cheats. People just use it more often on women, because for some reason it's considered 'okay' if a guy cheats on his sig other. WTF?! I don't know why. It's stupid. One who cheats= WHORE.
