The difference though...is it is women doing it as opposed to men. Women do it a lot in adult life, actually. Women are notorious for it. But in tv it is a bit well, the difference between Jerry Steinfield telling a Jewish Joke or Eddie Murphy telling a Black Joke or using the "N" word and Newt Gingrich doing it. When Willow and Buffy do it, it doesn't have the same effect as Xander. It's about privilege. Xander can have sex without being called on it. It's okay, expected. But for Buffy to - well she's such a slut.
