Slut shaming:
Slut shaming (also hyphenated, as slut-shaming) is defined as the act of making someone, usually a woman[citation needed], feel guilty or inferior, for engaging in certain sexual behaviors that violate traditional gender expectations. These include, depending on culture, having a large number of sex partners, having sexual relations outside marriage, having casual sexual relations, or acting or dressing in a way that is deemed excessively sexual. This is often done by name calling (often using the word "slut" itself) as well as covert shaming.
Prude shaming:
Essentially the opposite of slut shaming.. making someone who chooses not to have sex OR chooses not to be promiscuous, feel like there is something wrong with that. For instance, when I tell people that I will react in a hostile or even violent fashion if a guy touches me without permission in an inappropriate way or makes inappropriate gestures, I am ridiculed for it and told to "stop being a prude" or "Oh, you really want it, stop denying it".
Which is worse?
