I don't think that slut is an attack. I am a slut. I love slutty people.
It blows my mind that slut is still used as an attack on women. My family and my circle of friends have used the term playfully amongst each other, but as I got older and more involved in politics and realized that, no, there are people who legitimately believe in this myth that sluttiness is somehow immoral or stains a woman, that blew my fucking mind.
I mean, my parents weren't exactly labeling themselves sex positive, but had I ever suggested that a woman was somehow stained or immoral or whatever else these people associate with "sluts," my mama would have whooped my ass from here to a feminist bookstore.
Seriously, sex is fun. It's fucking great. It's exercise, it releases the fun chemicals, it's a way to bond if you want to be bond, it's a way to pass an evening in a new town if that's all you're in it for. Use protection, make sure you're not bringing a murderer home, and go have fun.
Are you a woman?
Are you the gender police? Wee woo wee woo wee woo. Am I under arrest for gender crimes? Do I need to show you what's in my underwear?
I’ll take that as a no. In which case your opinion on the word not being an issue is as irrelevant as you are not the aggrieved party.
So you’re literary assuming their gender. That’s wild.
The complete refusal to answer the question and the prior attempt to make slut not a slur is obvious enough that they’re some hetero white male who has never suffered discrimination before.
Assumed my gender and my race, what a treat you are. You kind of come across like a close-minded slut-shaming bigot who denies others the right to form their own gender identity, but I guess I deserve it because I didn't show you my papers.
I am and I unironically love being called a slut. Idk it feels validating.
Do you understand that it’s a slur for other women even if you are personally fine with it?
Well yeah. I like being called one. I don't call other women that unless they identify as one.
I love that slut is being reclaimed.
But a word can be both partially reclaimed and deeply insulting depending on who uses it and the context of its use. See the N-word.
I strive to reach that level of greatness.
