[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, guess what. I'm a mom and I think it's a very good term to describe the actions of a TEEN who has slept with multiple partners in high school.

Their are consequences to stupid behavior. Being thought less of by others is one of them.[/quote]

Do you apply the same standard to boys or only to girls?  That's a key point too- that (in general) sexual promiscuity by men is seen as masculine and rewarded while sexual promiscuity by women is seen as shameful and degrading.

Just throwing out a hypothetical because I'm curious about your opinion-

An 18 year old high school girl is in a committed relationship with a boy for 6 months.  During her senior year, they are sexually active, use birth control, but are in a monogamous relationship.  They break up.  A month later, this girl starts dating another boy during the second semester.  They also are sexually active, use birth control, and are in a monogamous relationship.  They both graduate, continue dating over the summer, both go to different colleges.  In the fall, she meets another boy at college, starts dating, and has a sexually active, monogamous relationship.  Bear in mind that she is an adult and she is also a teen.  She has had 3 sexual partners during this 12 month period.

- do you consider her to be a slut?
- at what point, if any, does she stop becoming a slut?
- if this narrative had been about a boy instead of a girl, would it change your opinion?[/quote]
