Rachel Bilson is defending herself against Whoopi Goldberg over remarks she made about mens sexual histories.

Earlier this week, on her Broad Ideas podcast, Bilson initially suggested that if she were dating a man who told her hed only had a few partners in his life, it might give her pause.

I dont know, Bilson said on the Oct. 2 episode . Well, if its really low, at this day and age, youd be like, A little weird. Like, if a dude I dont know, this is gonna sound so judgmental but if a dudes like in his 40s and hes slept with like four women?

The O.C. actor added that it all depends, and that its totally respectable for a sexually active man to have had few partners if, for example, hes been in multiple long-term relationships. Ultimately, Bilson said, a person is a person, and its not fair for me to say either way.

Goldberg, however, took issue with Bilsons remarks on Thursdays episode of The View .

Its very odd that youre concerned that hes had sexual partners any sexual partners, Goldberg said . Why is it your business? Listen, men traditionally were taught to have many sexual partners. That was how it was. Men could go and do whatever they wanted to do, and women were not supposed to.

Now that has been shifting, and young women have been bitching about, Why are you telling me what I should she continued, to some applause. So now this is happening, and now youre mad. I dont understand. If hes happy with you, and youre having a good time, why are you bitching?

Bilson responded to Goldberg on Thursday.
