“Pig” has no where near the same connotation as “slut,” and women get called pigs as well. Often. “Manwhore” is just a male modifier on “whore,” which does nothing but compare him to a derogatory term used for women.
How is being referred to as a pig, or a dog, not equally "as bad"? Though I agree that it's silly to compare, or attempt to downplay any of them since they all carry the same connotation.

There isn’t even a single word for “manwhore” that doesn’t first come from a female slur. And if you think women don’t get called dog, you’ve never heard the word bitch.
The only time I've heard b!tch used is in reference to a woman who's either: disagreeable, contemptuous, or antagonistic.
Women have frequently used it themselves to refer to other women they've either had arguments with, or women they generally don't like. The same way guys refer to other guys they don't like as @ssholes, or douches (also "douchebag" and "douchestain").

t’s disingenuous to pretend men have it just as bad as women when it comes to social shaming and sex.
Que up an episode of
Cheaters and see who the usual culprit is. Or look at most talkshows on the subject of promiscuity. More often than not, it's usually a guy.
The only reason people think guys have it easier is because they focus more on when women get singled out for it.
