One thing that has always been a pet peeve of mine is the double standard on sex: Guys are a stud for having tons of sex, while girls are whores/sluts for having sex once.
The worst part of it, is that the females are the ones calling each other sluts and whores.
The main reason for feminism is for females to have the same rights as males, yet females deny each other the possibility of having as much safe sex as they want, while males are perfectly okay to have the large amounts of safe sex with less consequences, even encouraged.
Another thing to consider is the fact that women have no straight definition for everyone on what being a slut or whore entails. How many times must a female have sex? In what time span? With how many guys? With what relationship with the guys?
One last piece of food for thought; if this term originated for someone who has sex before marriage, then quite a large percentage of people would be considered sluts and whores as I have no knowledge of anyone I have ever met that was actually a virgin until marriage. Have any of you ever met anyone who was a virgin until marriage?
All of this together brings me to my conclusion that slut shaming should not occur. There is no problem with a female being so amazing she's able to get many guys to sleep with her, as well as there being no problem with a male being so amazing he gets many females to sleep with him. As long as no one is passing me any diseases and everyone uses condoms, all of this is fine, so those who have been considered "sluts"(nearly every female over the age of 12 has been considered one by someone at some point whether virgin or not), do not worry as when you are being called a slut, you are basically being welcomed into the general female population. Congratulations.

P.S. I am not a feminist, I am an equalist. I fight for rights of everyone to be equal whether white, black, hispanic, purple, green, female, gay, bisexual, transgender, lesbian, or any animals (though I do still eat them, they need to be treated humanely until then).
