Wrong, really, just wrong. I have not seen one man call a woman a slut, where as I have seen countless females call eachother a slut, and I have moved to several locations, so I know it isn't just one certain area. The word "slut" means woman that basically has sex with a lot of people. Is it bad to be a slut? No. But as plainly seen from here, guys like "sluts", and given that slut is now seen to as n insult, not just a description, males are less likely to call a girl that has something they like about her, something that would insult her.
It isn't equal if you are saying both genders do it equally when one gender does it more than the other. It would be as equal as me saying that both genders are equal on how many murderers there are in both genders...That isn't equal at all, because the female gender doesn't have as much murderers in their gender as males do, so saying they're equally bad as the ones that are actually worst for doing such a thing isn't equall at all.
The word slut wasn't made for an insult, it was a word to describe a woman with a lot of sexual activity, not a word to be used for ghate. Where as comparing men to pigs is an insult.
The words slut has definetly caused sexism for both genders, mainly de to women saying it so much and then blaming men for it.
I actually think this is a very logical answer. Thank you for this.
I guess with slut, it is as you said, not a bad thing, but has been altered to become something horrible. It's why I don't like it. Slut now means someone who is a shitty person for enjoying sex, and as you said, there's nothing wrong with being a slut, but when you hear the world slut you usually are hearing people disregaurding someone for being a sexually active person.
The more I think of it, the more I hear women use it as an insult during a pety argument. So I agree that I need with you, the more I think this over. I still would rather not use the word myself, and I still find this post to be pretty sexist. I know problems for sexism are brought up by both genders, since I see both genders buy into stereotypes, especially females who like to say they prefer to befriend boys because females are "too dramatic" for them. So I'll admit I was acting stupid with what I said, and I appreciate your comments. It's nice to argue with people who don't agree with my viewpoints that are at least intelligent about it so that I am given a chance to understand why they believe what they believe and give me a chance to debate with them.
I agree, this poll is sexist. It's the way they have presented theword "slut" that gives it an insulting feel to it. I wouldn't use the word myself to be honest, because I know that most of the world see it as an insult rather than a word to describe such a woman. Don't worry, you weren't being stupid. We all sometimesneed to discuss things in order to understand a little bit more.
Thanks for your calm contribution to out discussion, it's something quite rare on this site nowadays. It'll be nice to have someone like you on this site.
What is your attitude toward sluts?
