Why slut-shaming is wrong and how it hurts women (and men)
- Women are not allowed to express themselves sexually without being scrutinized by other men AND women.
- Slut-shaming contributes to rape culture, where it is okay to rape a woman because she was ‘asking for it’.
- It promotes grrrl hate, which is completely detrimental to the feminist movement and only creates more internal sexism.
- The message it is sending to girls is: sex is bad. Sex can never be good. And having sex more than once is the worst thing you can do and everyone is going to hate you for it.
- The message it is sending to men: girls who have sex are sluts. If you come in contact with one of these so called “sluts” you can do whatever you want to them because they are not full, whole human beings. Just objects.
- Slut-shaming is in itself an objectification of women’s bodies. Of their sexuality.
With all that said, if you slut-shame I’ll call you out on it. WE will call you out on it. It’s not funny, it’s not cool and it is certainly not feminist to slut-shame.
