Can we stop slut-shaming and attacking the looks of women that we disagree with?

106. And the way we do this is to pass the insults on?

Maybe you could make the graphic bigger, so everyone can get a good outraged look at it?

I don't buy your thesis.

Let's start with Bristol. When you make a QUARTER MILLION BUCKS touting abstinence, and telling people to NOT get pregnant, and then, after you've cashed in, get caught out DOING what you tell others to NOT do, that is called HYPOCRISY.

Not Slut-shaming.

If some famous male dweeb ran around telling every young man to keep it in their pants, took home a large six figure payday for so doing, and then impregnated a girlfriend, the very same excoriation would apply. He'd be a HYPOCRITE. A LIAR. A craven opportunist. A grifter. A bullshit artist. A "do as I say, not as I do" horse shit king.


smh. We ARE allowed to point out when people don't live up to their finger wagging proclamations.

As for your graphic, above, you could take the very same thought, put pictures of DONALD TRUMP in the squares in place of the anti-gay clerk, and the same question would resonate. Calling someone "ugly" or "unattractive" is a MEAN thing to do--it's not "slut shaming." It's somewhat sexist, certainly, because women do tend to take that "appearance" hit more than men do, but slowly--too slowly, but slowly--that is changing. Making fun of someone's appearance isn't nice, but it's not calling them a "slut" in all, or even most, instances.

The whole "slut" thing has to do with challenging people for their sexual practices--when they are quietly living their lives, not telling other people what to do, sure, that's inappropriate. But when they are commanding people to eschew sex (or certain TYPES of sex), and banging like rabbits themselves, it's entirely appropriate to call them the hypocritical, bullshitting assholes that they are, and not be subjected to any "waaah, you're being mean" guilty essays.

I hate it when terms are misused, and 'slut shaming' doesn't apply in either of those instances. These people--Bristol and Anti-Gay Clerk--are HYPOCRITICAL ASSHOLES. They don't have my sympathy, because they do not DESERVE it.
