Why slut-shaming is wrong and how it hurts women (and men)

    • Women are not allowed to express themselves sexually without being scrutinized by other men AND women.
    • Slut-shaming contributes to rape culture, where it is okay to rape a woman because she was ‘asking for it’.
    • It promotes grrrl hate, which is completely detrimental to the feminist movement and only creates more internal sexism.
    • The message it is sending to girls is: sex is bad. Sex can never be good. And having sex more than once is the worst thing you can do and everyone is going to hate you for it.
    • The message it is sending to men: girls who have sex are sluts. If you come in contact with one of these so called “sluts” you can do whatever you want to them because they are not full, whole human beings. Just objects.
    • Slut-shaming is in itself an objectification of women’s bodies. Of their sexuality.

    With all that said, if you slut-shame I’ll call you out on it. WE will call you out on it. It’s not funny, it’s not cool and it is certainly not feminist to slut-shame. 

fuck this. i hate sluts of both genders. not just girls. i’ll slut-shame anybody that i damn well please, thank you very much. if you can’t keep your legs closed or your pants up, i don’t respect you, and you clearly don’t respect yourself. end of story.

as if the word slut can be attributed to both genders

ugh get over yourself, pleeeeeeease.

things slut shamers really need to understand:

1. i do not give a single fuck whether you respect me or not. the point is not to gain your respect. the point is to dismantle a system that justifies and encourages violence against women by policing and denouncing female sexuality.

2. strangers can and do have sex with each other. if you don’t like that idea, then don’t have sex with strangers. MORALITY IS SUBJECTIVE.

3. i do not need to respect someone to fuck them.

4. my sex life has nothing to do with how much self respect i have. except maybe that as my self esteem grows, i am more comfortable doing pretty much anything sexually. U MAD?

5. even if i had no self respect at all, THAT’S NOT YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS.

6. the amount of respect someone has for themselves should not impact whether you respect them or not. think about that for a second.

7. the word ‘slut’ does not have a single definition. you might define it in a very specific way in a weak attempt to justify slut shaming. guess what? it’s still bullshit.

8. other people’s sex lives are none of your business. PERIOD.

9. your slut shaming is pathetic, misogynist, sexist, and makes you a total asshole. no exceptions. keep that shit to yourself.

Whimsical wooden spoons by Terry Widner. You can purchase his work at his Spoontaneous Etsy store.

The Tick’s war cry never looked so cool!

So when I was in college, my art teacher was telling us the importance of function over form and he said “You can’t have a spoon and make it look like a snake. It has to look like a spoon to be a spoon.” This is for you, Scott. May you be proven wrong gracefully and often.

1.
I say, ‘I am fat.’
He says ‘No, you are beautiful.’
I wonder why I cannot be both.
He kisses me
hard.

2.
My college theater professor once told me
that despite my talent,
I would never be cast as a romantic lead.
We do plays that involve singing animals
and children with the ability to fly,
but apparently no one
has enough willing suspension of disbelief
to go with anyone loving a fat girl.
I daydream regularly
about fucking my boyfriend vigorously on his front lawn.

3.
On the mornings I do not feel pretty,
while he is still asleep,
I sit on the floor and check the pockets of his skinny jeans for motive,
for a punchline,
for other girls’ phone numbers.

4.
When we hold hands in public,
I wonder if he notices the looks —
like he is handling a parade balloon on a crowded sidewalk;
if he notices that my hands are now made of rope.

5.
Dear Cosmo: Fuck you.
I will not take sex tips from you
on how to please a man you think I do not deserve.

6.
He tells me he loves me with the lights on.

7.
I can cup his hip bone in my hand,
feel his ribs without pressing very hard at all.
He does not believe me when I tell him he is beautiful.
Sometimes I fear the day he does will be the day he leaves.

8.
The cute hipster girl at the coffee shop
assumes we are just friends
and flirts over the counter.
I spend the next two weeks
mentally replacing myself with her
in all of our photographs.
When I admit this to him
we spend the evening taking new photos together.
He will not let me delete a single one of them.

9.
The phrase “Big girls need love too” can die in a fire.
Fucking me does not require an asterisk.
Loving me is not a fetish.
Finding me beautiful is not a novelty.
I am not a fucking novelty.

10.
I say, ‘I am fat.’
He says, ‘No. You are so much more’,
and kisses me
hard.
