Uh oh....I got flamed for sayin' Elaine was too "friendly". I think either I didn't come across clear enough with what I was thinking, or it got read wrong. I feel that Elaine uses her sexuality more then Jerry or George, but that goes w\o sayin'. When she says "We can do this the easy way or we can do this the fun way!" I thought it was clear enough. I guess I was wrong. =)

Why shouldn't she? It is her perrogative!

Quoth [email] (Dave): :

Obviously I was too subtle. "Mary1" referred to Elaine's "perrogative". I thought, "Hmm... so Elaine is free to share her prerogative with any man she chooses." And, therefore, Melissa Raglan is free to play baseball without any protective equipment covering her prerogative. And college guys go out on the weekend looking for a little prerogative...

The answer to the question is that all the main characters are sluts. That's kinda the point of the show.

If you mean that she's a slut because she fucks around, then what about Jerry, George & Kramer. So the question is Are they all sluts???

My dictionary says a slut is "a slovenly woman" or "a promiscuous woman". I don't think she's slovenly but she does strike me as promiscuous. So by definition I think she could be called a slut. Personally I think that based on the number of short relationships they all have and their attitudes toward these relationships, they are ALL sluts. But I'm not saying that's not their prerogative or that it's not funny. Because it is pretty funny and it is their prerogative.

She got to play with a female protective gear. But why cover something she doesn't have what needs covering on the male anatomy?
