Another anon: What are your opinions in slut shaming?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Slut shaming is shitty. It is perfectly fine to have multiple sexual partners as long as you are being safe and using protection, be true to yourself and what you want out of the encounters, and respect your partner. If you can say all those things are true then I don’t think it matters if you’ve slept with one person or one-hundred. It’s really no one else’s business. However slut shaming will try to convince you otherwise.

Slut shaming is the idea of shaming a woman for enjoying sex; engaging in sex and being open about it; having a lot of sex; having a lot of casual sex with various different partners. Essentially, it is the shaming of any woman who expresses and or explores her sexuality on her own accord, for her own pleasure. A woman can also be shamed in this manner for the way she chooses to dress or perhaps because of her body type.

This is a tactic used to oppress women, control them, and berate them through language that has been stigmatized.

Hope this helps both your understanding of what slut shaming is and why it’s not cool. :-)
