Slut-shaming has been getting a lot of press lately; as well
it should, because it’s some f&cking bullsh&t. Here we are in the 21st
century, and everywhere you turn someone who should know better is giving some
woman or girl, or sometimes even just women
and girls generally, a hard time for having sex, liking sex, looking like
they might have sex, expressing sexuality, or being someone that someone else
wants to have sex with.
You might judge someone for having dated “too many” people –
I think the general consensus now is that you’re allowed three relationships
over the course of your entire life, and after that, your genitals wither up
and fall off. If you’re a woman, you might judge other women for going out once
in a while instead of staying home with their husbands every night for the rest
of their lives. What do you mean some women don’t have husbands? Hush, liar.
So, let’s clear up the confusion right here and now:
Women are allowed to have sex. We are allowed to use birth
control. Yes, even teenaged women are allowed to use birth control. It has medical uses, you
know. It’s not all about the filthy dirty nasty horrible sex, although if it
were, that would be none of your business.
Women are allowed to have sex with more than one person in
their entire lives. We’re allowed to have a lot of boyfriends, too, if we want.
Girlfriends, even. If you are dating a woman and you find out that she has had
sex with “too many people” and you dump her for that, the problem is that you
are an asshole, not that you were dating a slut. No one is a bad person because
she slept with “too many people.” A woman is not her vagina. Nor does a woman’s
vagina have any more bearing on her character than her foot does, unless she is
using it to kick your ass. The foot, that is, not the vagina. I’d like to see a
woman kick someone’s ass with her vagina. It’d probably be that Russian lady who lifts
something like 30 pounds using only her vagina. Makes me wonder how much I can lift
with my vagina, you know?
