I was reading either Time or Newsweek earlier this week. You know how they have the letters to the editor, the reader commentaries that they publish at the front near the table of contents. There was one, I kid you not, from a freakin pr-st-t-t- that was all mad and indignant because of an article that was featured recently.
Apparently this article said something along the lines of, "We know prostitutes and prrn are becoming too widespread like cancer now. But rest assured, you don't really have to worry about your child being exposed to it, because there aren't a whole lot of prostss hanging out around schools." And of course the notorious "women's magazines" have tons of articles that spread sluttery and admonish people for calling sluts "sluts."
I find it laughable that these silly hookers and strippers are so offended when people call them "sluts." They complain, "that's offensive, it's wrong to judge someone for being slutty." And this is a major one -- then they even attempt the "if males-- analogy" argument. They try to say that a promiscuous guy is not called a slut but a promiscuous girl is called a slut. (Sigh. They should stop attempting any thinking; they might hurt themselves.)
To which I reply, what utter bs. Don't we also call out guys on their bs when they are sluts? We call them players, dogs, jerks. I, for one, also just call guy-sluts, "sluts." I have no qualms about monikering them thusly whatsoever. And more to the point, don't you selfsame sluts, the ones that get all mad when people call you sluts, don't you also call guy-sluts "jerks," "dogs," etc.? So what makes you think you should be privileged to not have people judge you? What makes you think you should be somehow exempt from ridicule or opinion?
"Oh it's offensive," they try to say. Please explain-- what exactly is offensive? They will try to counter-- "it is offensive to call someone a slut." Really, so my calling someone a slut is offensive to you. Allow me to let you in on some super dooper secret knowledge-- your <being> a stripper, prostitute, prrn star, whatever, no difference, is offensive to me.
So what you're saying is that you can be allowed to <do it,> but I can't be allowed to <call you on it??>
Look, no one is sitting here saying anyone is bad for having sex. I don’t think anyone really cares whether or not you are having sex. But is it too much to ask to keep your personal business to yourself? Don’t splash it all over the city park. Don’t fling it all about in the grocery store. Don’t whip it out in a parking lot.
I hope you realize that all you have to do to avoid being subjected to the designator of "sl-t" is -- not act like a sl-t.
All that is required is that you conduct yourself with a little dignity and class out in public. That’s it. That’s all it takes to fend off the horrible trauma of having people point and stare. It doesn’t really have anything to do with what’s happening behind closed doors. It is about having composure and grace and self-respect.
Don’t accept money for it. Don’t go pole stripping. Don’t have spare body parts hanging out all over the place. Those are all public things. Don’t do that.
So you say it is nobody’s business whom you slept with or where you slept with them or how many whoms there were? Fine with me. Then don’t make it anyone else’s business. Keep your charming stories under wraps. Wear clothes out in public. Normal clothes. Dignified clothes. The kind that won’t make people remark, “maybe someday you can go back and steal the rest of it.” (Xena.)
I notice that the only people that are offended by the virgin/sl-t dichotomy are, dun dun dun -- sl-ts.
Virgins are not offended by this, because the designation of "virgin" is not an insult. It is simply a statement of fact; it is a medical acknowledgement of a physical state. It should be noted that it makes no difference if this is a woman or man; a virgin is a virgin.
Also, none of the women I know in real life, i.e., married women, take umbrage at this, nor do men. Why? Because it has nothing to do with them. Grown adult women who are married and have sex with their respective husbands do not take offense at this. That is because they are neither virgins nor sluts. That dichotomy is completely irrelevant to them.
