Slut Shaming; Your views?

[Sikeliot]

Slut shaming is "the act of making a woman feel guilty or inferior for being sexually active, having multiple sex partners, or acting or dressing in a way that is deemed excessively sexual, often by calling them a "slut" or other derogatory terms. Slut-shaming is based on the idea that women should follow one sexual norm, and that any woman who deviates from this norm is inferior to other women. Slut-shaming can occur privately or publicly, between people in all types of relationships."

It's not appropriate conduct in public mediums. What one does in the confinements of her own property, I am not concerned, unless of course she's a relative or somebody I am invested with.

I think people should in general keep sex and sexual behavior out of the public sphere and restrict it to where it belongs, the bedroom.

I don't consider the word "slut" to be offensive. "Little slut" is kind of cute reference.

Words "whore", "bitch", "female" are insulting and offensive.

"Woman" and "feminine" are proper references.

If a woman isn't harming anyone by her actions, why should others judge her for them?

Well my view is that it's unfair to keep a double standard that allows men to sleep around but women must remain chaste and virginal or they will be scrutinized.. however I think sexual behavior is private and should not be so out in the open, from either gender.

As far as "sluts" go... my main issue is with women donning the uniforms of whores and then being shocked when people treat them as such.

If I impersonate a police officer, I should be reasonably inclined to believe a good proportion of people will take me seriously.

You may not be a whore, but you are wearing a whore's uniform, in the words of Dave Chappelle.

Even worse is the excuses women come up with for dressing/acting slutty.

It's purely for attention.

It's considered sexism nowadays if you expect a woman to be sexually conservative because, in the minds women, being sexually conservative = being sexually unattractive.

This is because white, Western women (who make up the majority of women living in feminist societies) have become so insecure about their bodies, due to exaggerated feminist standards of beauty perpetuated by the mainstream media and entertainment industries, as well as the knowledge that women of other cultures possess much more universally appealing characteristics, that they cannot tolerate the thought of being unattractive, let alone being rejected sexually.

The onus is then put on males to ensure that each and every female, no matter how unattractive physically or mentally, never has to experience the feeling of being unattractive.

It's what two women do when the third one is in the toilet. Or they're in the toilet and the third one isn't.

The sexual life is quite a private thing and it should stay that way. It's a human nature to have multiple partners and if that doesnt cause any harm then it's fine.

This exactly! Men are supposed to be virile beasts, but women chaste angels. I see it a lot in movies and in real life. For example, in the Hispanic community where I live, some of the men have as many girls on the side as they can handle, but if their wife even looks at another man, they want to go beat up the man they were looking at. That happens more in the gang culture though.

Another example of that in television was the Sopranos, Tony slept with dozens and dozens of women, strippers, and mistresses, and just one night stands all through the show. But when Carmela almost has an affair with one of his capos, he's ready to murder that man, and tries to if I remember correctly. If he's able to run around like a whore, then his wife should be able to do the same.

I hate hypocrisy and double standards.
