I have been on the wrong side of the Al Franken controversy and I am all right with that. Still, I want to say I hate the term “Slut shaming” being thrown around all of the time and I am offended everytime I read it. Why is it okay to say/write it? To me, it sounds like an excuse to write “slut” half of the time. Why do people use that term? Why not say something like this instead:
Criticizing women and girls who are perceived to violate expectations of behavior and appearance regarding issues related to sexuality.

IMHO, it is like white people using words offensive to people of color to defend those same people. Why is it okay??????
