A powerful societal pressure against being a slut in traditional European culture was the inability of a slut to provide for herself if she bore a bastard child . A man was not obligated to take care of a whore's child and thus women were pressured to be conservative because they risked not having a financial means to support their child if they simply whored themselves out.
Sluts have managed to circumvent this aspect of traditional society since the 20th century with the rise of modern child support and alimony laws. This lets sluts to whore themselves out and then collect a paycheck once enough of the sluts countless partners have taken paternity tests. Slutty behavior can be directly tied to the consequences of slutty behavior: if it is a financial risk, less women will be slutty.
Lets eliminate the aspect of the legal system that incentivizes slutty behavior. Get rid of alimony and child support.

Because it is ok that men want to fuck them, but the women should be responsible and ultimately the child should pay?

That's how it goes around here. Being promiscuous is fine if you're a man; feel free to be one of the cocks on the cock carousel! you're a man! it's fine! But if you're a woman, promiscuity means you are a worthless whore. It's so fucking stupid. Immature and weak men want to have the freedom to sleep with whoever and then turn around and condemn the woman who let him sleep with her. It says a lot about a man's character and rationality when he starts spouting those sort of ideals.

That's how it goes around the world actually, for almost every human civilization modern or historical. That's also how it goes for most mammalian species. Broadly speaking, this is due to the differing reproductive roles the sexes must play in order for their species to propagate and survive.
It implies he may be aware of the differing roles assigned to males and females by biology and evolution.
What has allowed women to very recently escape their former socio-biological role in the sex/reproduction realm is men's development of things like birth control, abortion, legal and financial structures supporting women and children, and of course granting women suffrage and legal standing in the first place.
Sadly, this has been an unmitigated disaster for Western Civilization, as women have voted en masse for self-destruction via unrestricted immigration, elimination of the nuclear family, the welfare state, and many other worse-than-useless social edicts.

The thing is, while the consequences for promiscuity are different for men and women, that doesn't mean that there are no consequences for men. Right now, the demographic that is contracting syphilis the most rapidly in the US is men. Not women, but men! Promiscuity is bad for men as well as women, but if you listen to what a lot of people on voat think, you'd come to believe that men are impervious to both disease and emotional baggage, and only women benefit from not being degenerates. And it's bullshit. Being promiscuous is bad for both genders. Promiscuity is degeneracy even if you happen to be male.

Excellent point, I largely agree in a social/cultural (and personal) sense.
However in terms of evolutionary biology there is no downside to male promiscuity; males are there to fertilize as many females as they can. Females, on the other hand, have a vested interest in convincing a male to remain and protect/provide for her during her pregnancy, and for her and the child/ren after she gives birth. The way most mammalian females do this is by being monogamous with one male partner (though lots of studies show this varies widely between species - and also human cultures).
