I'm so tired of the Slut Shame [View all]

I'm tired that if a woman wants BC, she's a slut
I'm tired that if a woman enjoys sex, she's a slut
I'm tired that if a woman has a baby and not married, she's a slut

Why is it that to talk about BC, it can only be about a medical condition, and not controlling births...that makes us a slut.

Why is it, you are not a good woman, if you don't want to have a bunch of children, or better yet, no kids at all...you want sex without consequences, you are a slut.

Why is it that we're are not suppose to speak about the fact that we, as women, we actually like sex, and want it...you are, my friend, most certainly a slut.

I'm fed up and sick of stick it up the as people saying that we are sluts. Your religion and morallity stops at my uterus...nothing more, nothing less.

Thanks for letting me rant.
