This is something that bothers me and I feel like I have to say something about it (or nobody else will), but I’m not nearly as articulate as Laci Green so I will let her tell you why slut shaming needs to stop.
I've highlighted the main points of the video for those of you who've decided to skip the video and go straight to the comments section.
One of the things Laci is saying is that sleeping around has nothing to do with how much you respect yourself.
"Not doing what you’re supposed to, to be a good respectable woman does not mean you lack self-respect."
Things that have to do with how much you respect yourself:
- Standing up for yourself
- Making your own decisions
- Not putting up with people’s bullshit
Things that have nothing to do with how much you respect yourself:
- What kind of sex you have
- What kind of clothes you wear
- What kind of makeup you put on
“For women promiscuity is considered a “stupid decision.” And when you make bad decisions you pay the consequences. Like losing everyone’s respect, being shamed, being called a slut, being bullied…. But for dudes promiscuity is not a “bad decision,” promiscuity is a very good decision.”
Okay, I'm done. What are your thoughts?
