A woman who openly enjoys sex and is as casual about it in the same way that many men are should not have her worth demeaned and. assessed by the general public just because of her gender. “Slut” has become a common term for women who enjoy casual sex. Calling someone a slut does not only sort them into a sexist perspective of thought, but it also lessens the worth of women by attaching a stigma to their actions but not to the same actions being carried out by men. You can’t have two people of the opposite gender performing the same set of actions, but attach a negatively contorted label of “slut” to only one of those genders. It just doesn’t make sense.

When people begin assessing fewer sex partners with being more respectable, people whose desires are outside those boundaries have to either trade in their desires in order to be accepted and respected within society, or simply face the backlash of having those desires fulfilled. Labeling someone a slut based on their sexual expression does not only label someone based on the outward expression, but it also takes away from what might be causing this type of outward expression, such as how the person is being prompted. How we perceive people coined with the term slut really conceals the character within the person in question.

Slut-shaming collapses the complexity of another person onto a single dimension. But even more so, given how slut-shaming is used to control and shame all women regardless of their sexual practices or desires, it conflicts directly with respecting them. If you say that you respect women, then you need to respect all women, no matter how many sexual partners she has, her relationship choices, or how she enjoys sex. Otherwise, you’re saying that your respect is something that someone has to buy. I don’t think that that’s really respect at all.

Slut-shaming the female gender also empowers the hypocritical notion that when men behave in a promiscuous manner with no stigma or negativity attached, they are just trying to enjoy their own sexuality. Allowing men to behave in a similar manner without all of the societal implications degrades a woman for her sexual liberation. Degrading someone’s confidence in their sexuality as well as their expression of sexuality by slut-shaming them degrades the female gender as a whole.

Next time you hear about the girl next door sleeping around with one “too many” men, you might want to rethink judging her on her outward expression and instead try to connect with the inward expression of what prompted her to do so. Perhaps she was having a summer fling, or maybe it was at attempt at failed romance, or perhaps it was done in or out of love; all the same, these are choices made out of sexual expression and personal choice and not ones that should be seen as shameful.

^ NO. Its to tell you that since 3million yrs BC there's no gender equality and there will never be. We are different.

I also wonder, too. It's just hypocrisy and double standards.

i don't even know
i tire

Coming from you a male and *thumbs up*
But in this country most especially that is full of hypocritical, religious fanatics and unevolving culture (which honestly we don't have any) , this enlightening article will remain where it is (nairaland history) and also blame our fellow women because we don't support ourselves and are quick to label our fellow out-spoken lady who enjoys casual sex like some men who do a 'slut'
So if we can't support our selves then there's no how the debassment and if not equality (am not a full supporter of gender equality) but some form of respect for women from men will ever stop.

We should ask history... Men were married to more dan one wife even in d holy books witout been castigated and men don't do it for a living then. But dese days, men are fuckin whor*s.

Its simply because a key that opens many locks is called a master key, and a lock opened by many keys is a shity lock.

What a ridiculous metaphor!

You should add this too to your list of ridiculous metaphors "A pencil that gets sharpened too much is eventually reduced to nothing. A pencil sharpner can sharpen tons of pencils and be just fine"

smh

To you...that's why opinion varies.

It's easy , which do u prefare . Ur mum fuccked 20 men or ur dad fuccked 20 women . Ladies pls answer

our culture sees it that way. a woman is nt suppose to flirt around.

Gender Inequality!!! Simple , no cultural or sentimental bullshit it's just simply gender inequality just as girls are open to say "Broke N*iggas" but u sparely hear "Broke Bi*tches" .

Does that mean girls are not broke?? Aftermath they are more male billionaires than females!!!

Are girls saying if they are not called sluts for giving the cookie.. they will give more of it?

it is the society we find ourselves. i for one would nt encourage men to flirt around either. it is not safe at all. it is all about renewing our mind.

Men were made to admire different women..it happens with every man no matter how much some of us try to act innocent..but not all men finally indulge in infidelity..
