Why is it that if a woman has a healthy sexual appetite others label her as a Slut?
The age old double standard. Men can sleep around and they or revered by their peers. Yet if a woman sleeps with more than one person in a short period of time they're called whores or skanks especially by other women. We as sexual beings are driven to have sex. Even the media teaches us that having multiple sex partners is not a bad thing. I being a self proclaimed Slut, and I use that term to be humorous, love having (safe) sex. Having multiple partners is no different than eating different flavors of ice cream. Vanilla is good and you always enjoy it, but sometimes chocolate or strawberry is what you crave. A woman should be able to enjoy a sexual relationship with as many people as she wants without fear of bullying from her peers.
I wonder if every woman will go through some form of slut-shaming and what we as women can do to empower each other rather than tear each other down.
ReplyDeleteI believe most women enjoy(good)sex as much as the menfolk do. We ladies should embrace the fact that sex is not the Taboo our parents and Grandparents made it out to be. As with all things in life its a choice. As long as we are careful and safe, sex should be just another activity of our daily lives no matter with whom we do it or how often.
