http://www.wordnik.com/lists/fireships-and-fizgigs.xml This list is dedicated to names for women of easy virtue (basically prostitutes and "other women"). I have resisted making such a list until now; the abundance of such terms, and the relative paucity of comparable words applied to men is an embarrassment. But I suppose it can be viewed as evidence of historical and societal attitudes toward women down the ages, further documentation of male privilege, if such documentation were needed.
