F is also for Floozy

You know, every time the_axel plays the Evil Dead soundtrack, I find myself wondering why it is that whenever there is a slut character in a play/book/movie, she is always portrayed as dumb.

Why can't it ever be a smart woman who just happens to have a somewhat greedy taste for the pleasures carnal? Why is the default assumption that those two personality traits must always be diametrically opposed?

Is it just because the writers who pump this shit out have never met any?

Oh yeah! A classic.

Also, I was thinking of adding this earlier but was rushed... as much as I utterly loathe the movie in question - Sharon Stone's character in Basic Instinct also comes to mind.

Not that I'm putting her in the same league as La West, of course. :)
