ORIGINAL: velvetears a slut doesn't care who she sleeps with its the act that matters more then the person - she'll sleep with anyone to get off. And the problem with this is???? I'm kind of kidding but kind of serious, velvet. So what if a woman does? This makes her bad? I know you aren't putting anyone down but I think many people who think of a woman as a "slut" are. So what if she wants to get off? This makes her trashy or wrong? I just don't see the connection. It's the age old double-standard. Men can fuck anything with one, two, or four legs and it's all good but if a woman does, she's a slut. I don't buy it and never have. And, as so many others have said, a word or a name is just that. It only has the power one gives it................luci i agree with you luci, once again. The power of a word was mentioned.....it's kind of like.... Bad example, but a good one(maybe) to make my point is...Say that someone contracts HIV...it is stigmatized by alot of people...But, what really makes it any different than say cancer? or Lupus? or any other thing that one can get and possibly die from? Nothing (symptomolgy) except the way one contracts it and it's name. It is made to be something uglier than the others for this reason. Ultimately it is a disease, just like the others but the way people look at it can be different. So a man can do all kinds of stuff and he is a stud, has great sexual prowess yadda yadda yadda. A woman does something similar and she is a slut. Used in a negative conotation....There is no difference between the two, and yet the woman, for her actions is stigmatized and looked down on. Slut is just a word...it can leave a good feeling with someone...it can leave a bad feeling...but it is simply a word and the way we HEAR it makes the difference...the way it is SAID makes the difference. What was it that was said by some old dude with really dumb hair and even dumber taste in clothes? Oh yeah, something about a rose by any other name.... and all of that. the word really doesn't matter so much it's what's behind it.
