Slut has always been a gendered insult, from the very beginning several hundred years ago when it meant "woman who is a careless, slovenly housekeeper" rather than "woman who has sex I don't approve of." It's becoming less gendered in casual usage in the modern day, but that doesn't change the fact that it originated as, and continued for centuries as, a gendered insult. It's still viewed more as a "female" term; if someone says "slut," with no context, nearly all people hearing it will default to assuming they mean someone female, because that's how it has always been used until very recently.
