A horrible choice of words from those actors, but that's the reason why it's a constant fight against misogyny. Many people who partake in it, don't even realize it. It's so ingrained in culture that no one really stops to wonder why a character like Iron Man gets a pass, but a character like Black Widow is called a slut.
Gamora of GotG is, in the comics, a free spirit who picks up men in bars all across the galaxy, much like Starlord does with women in the GotG film. Now I understand that part of her personality wouldn't have worked in the GotG film, but I do hope she would loosen up and go back to that kind of role for the sequel. Starlord is allowed to enjoy himself, why not Gamora?
