Is Slut Shaming Okay?

[Red Cat]

People can do what they want with their lives, but at the same time what youre talking about is complicated. its kinda like nowadays ppl are saying that the word "fat" shouldn't be negative etc etc. Honestly you're mom prob wants you to do more with you're life then be a piece of meat or be worried about guys so maybe that's where she's getting at...she is your mom after all. Not everybody has to like everybody's behavior...being promiscuous is a choice haha. I have no probs with people into personally and do not judge but if I had a daughter I prob wouldnt want her thinking about sex 24/7 tbh

I agree that parents have a right to be concerned about their children being promiscuous, but calling someone a "slut" is not really the best way to discourage that behavior. Parents should teach their kids about the potential consequences of sex instead of shaming them for wanting to act on a basic human desire. The word "slut" has no positive effect that I can think of.

Its these types of threads that get the most attention in Brewsters, but i'll go ahead and say that shaming someone for this purpose isn't all that necessary. Its there body so I guess they can just, you know, do what they like???

any type of shaming isn't okay.

 

[Orieii]

Shaming anyone is wrong > n <)p </3

 

[Beardo]

Nah

Slut is about as much as an insult as gay.

Yes, I agree with you, mostly. But having a screaming match over this issue seems like a waste of energy. Maybe turns out OP wants to be a stripper one day or more... they gonna have worse issues as a fam anyways lol

no.. why would you even need to ask this...

I think it used to be used derisively (I'm not sure though), but not anymore since otherwise there would not be a G in LGBT. It seems like the word "homosexual" is now considered more offensive than the word "gay" even though the former may be a more technically correct term. I still have never heard of the word "slut" get used in a positive way though.

its whatever the person chooses to do with their body. sluts" are just stereotypical names. they can do what they want, and shouldn't be shamed for it

some people use it that way, but its a sexuality. "ha that's gay" is used a lot at school, like if they think something is stupid

i'm a slut for french onion dip.

 

[milkyi]

No I'm not okay with it, who are you to judge people's sex lives?

 

[teshima]

No. Anyways, what's wrong with being a slut? if they like being one then let them be one. It's their body and their mind and therefore their decision.

If you're a smoker, it's your choice to be a smoker, but that doesn't mean it's healthy or that it should be encouraged. That's how I feel about it. I'm a pretty erotic person, though.

 

[Izzy Reincarnated]

I'm promiscuous and I find this offensive.

No, shaming is absolutely not ok. You should mind your own beeswax it's not your body.

 

[santoyo.bay]

Nope. Its not okay. No form of shaming is okay. And honestly its so annoying that when women sleep with many people she's called a slut but when a man does he's cool and he's a playa.

Okay well having a lot of safe sex doesn't give you cancer and it's a normal part of the human experience so why should it be discouraged

let me tell u a thing

so basically in highschool my bf (now ex ofc) cheated on me twice, lied to my face about both those times, and it wasn't until mutual friends told me the truth that I finally found out
flash forward months later, still with the same guy, the relationship just kept going downhill and I hooked up with another guy out of anger/revenge

of course what I did wasn't right, but whatever. the relationship ended. BUT, for the rest of the school year, every time I ran into him or his friends they yelled "slut" at me. they would mess with my car every single day, e.g. when it was dirty they'd use the dust on it to draw or write stupid sht, I was harassed every. single. day. it got SO bad that I hated school, I would ditch all the time. finally I couldn't take it anymore and went to the vice principal. I even texted my ex's dad and told him. then if he so much as breathed the word slut at me, he'd be suspended and his dad would take his car away.

I felt like a total snitch at the time but reflecting on it I should have done it sooner. so yeah **** the word slut as a derogatory term. the fact that there's no real male equivalent of the word is such a joke. it's beyond me the hypocrisy of the stigma of female sexuality. male sexuality is applauded and worshipped basically, ya'know, "boyz will b boyz!!!!!" yet girls are shamed, any reference to female sexuality is shunned so much that even menstruation is taboo. it's completely absurd.

Personally I find it a little raunchy for anyone to go around bragging about their sex lives, but I don't shame them for it, I just ignore the conversation. I don't believe anyone should be persecuted for how they live their lives, especially in private.

Basically what it boils down to is, if it it's not hurting anything and doesn't affect them, why do should other people care about other's lifestyle choices?

You're free to do whatever you want with your body.
And I'm free to think or say whatever I feel about it.
That's just the way the world works.
