105. It's not about her sex life, and it's not misogyny. It's her hypocrisy.

Mon Jul 6, 2015, 07:28 AM

Jul 2015

She's not a private citizen living a life that's none of our business. She has made a living off of telling people how they should run their sex lives, specifically instructing them to wait until marriage before having a sex life.

For her to continue in that role after twice becoming pregnant while umarried means that she's a shameless hypocrite. It's not slut-shaming, and it's not misogyny. It's calling out a hypocrit, and it's entirely valid.

Male hypocrites are routinely called out for their hypocrisy, by the way. Anti-gay crusaders who are discovered to be gay, for instance. Anti-drug zealots who get arrested while high with a bag of coke in their pocket, for instance. Aggressive, bible-beating moralizers who run up multi-million dollar gambling debts, for instance.

Calling it slut-shaming misogyny is an attempt to exonerate her for her hypocrisy, which is the real issue. Most of us don't care if she has sex with 1,000 people, as long as she doesn't get a paycheck for telling that we have to abstain.
