Again, I'll chock this up to residual instincts. Women have just always been expected to be the caregivers for the young.

I guess it's perspective. I never considered them to be negative connotations.

Why is it during 3-somes with a man and 2 women, its called just that...'a 3-some'...but when its a woman and 2 men, its called a GANG BANG or stated how a 'train' was ran on the female?
I would only consider sex between 2 women and 1 man to be a gang bang, if both women strapped on a d.i.l.d.o and took turns sticking it up the guy's anus.

Why is it during 3-somes with a man and 2 women, its called just that...'a 3-some'...but when its a woman and 2 men, its called a GANG BANG or stated how a 'train' was ran on the female?
I am no expert, but maybe the threesome with a man and two women involves concurrent sexual activity between the three participants, while I train is simply one guy following the other in activity with the woman without any contact between the multiple participants.

When a train is run on a woman, it usually involves more than two guys and, again, they are not having sex with her at the same time.

This one is not as true as it used to be. Nowadays, you'll hear people calling it empowerment if a woman sleeps around like a man. Shows like Sex & The City prove this.

I know which post you're referring to. You'll rarely hear this said about a man.

A couple more double standards to add to the list:

A man who's driven is called ambitious. A woman who's driven is called power hungry and if she has kids, she's often made to feel like a bad mother for wanting a career too.

A man can swear like a truck driver and get away with it. A woman who does it is called unlady-like.

A woman who sleeps with a married man is a homewrecker. A man who sleeps with a married woman is...Russell Crowe.

A man who rejects a woman because of her looks is called shallow. A woman who rejects a man because he doesn't make enough money...well, I rarely hear her being called shallow.
