This is what it looks like to me

Mockery of ideas you don't comprehend or understand is the surest mark of unintelligence.

Did these people actually say these quotes?

It seems awfully convenient that these quotes are coming out now.

Don't make vague, generic threats, or else!

I like, though I'd either make both "promiscuous," both "sexually active," or switch, because the current sign doesn't illustrate the hypocrisy very well.

Then they're both whores.

And on the other side:

Celibate male = Chaste

Celibate female = Prude.
I'd be more sympathetic if people here didn't act like they knew what they were saying when they were saying something very much wrong.

Pfft, I'm jealous of sluts. Sluts get to have sex every day, I have to wait for the weekend.

Yeah, I'd either use sexually active for both or switch sexually active and promiscuous.  Sexually active, at least to me, is someone who is responsible with their sex life.  Promiscuous, on the other hand, is someone who engages in irresponsible activities, such as having unprotected sex with a new partner every night.  That being said, even in those cases, using language like "slut" and "whore" is unacceptable.  Some people just have different views of sex compared to the traditional sexist/misogynistic views of past.

However, society idolizes  males who have frequent sex while shaming women who do, so switching the two would be a good way of showing the double standard.

Also, I'm not so sure of the chaste/prude example, at least depending on the case.  I think it can go either way for both sexes depending on who's involved.  Some people see chastity as a good thing, while others see it as a bad thing. For instance, back in high school, some girls made fun of me for not having sex, while more recently, some women have been more supportive when I say I'm trying to get my life in order when they try to hook me up with a friend.
