I think it is really important to take societal pressure on woman into account here. Which you kinda touch on, but not fully.
If a woman is a slut, they are shamed. If a man is a slut, they are cheered on.
Or put another way, a woman has to play "hard to get" and can't be "easy". When was the last time you heard a man called "easy"?
There is a lot more shame put on woman for having a healthy sexuality that often leads to not exploring their desires.

There's just tons of writing on women against frustration with changing cultural norms around casual sex that doesn't mention stigma at all, and I just can't hand-wave all that away as "subliminated stigma", as convenient as that would be!
