[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]+1.  First of all, I hate the word "slut" and don't allow it at my house. It's crass and vulgar and not the language an educated person uses. My kids don't say "sucks," either BTW, for the same reason.

But what I don't get is what "slut-shaming" really is.  Is it shaming the person (aka, the slut), or is it shaming the behavior (the actions taken that are considered slutty?") From what I'm reading here, there is disagreement on that.

You never shame a person.

You absolutely shame behavior.[/quote]

Very succinct.  Also make sure boys and girls are held to the same standard.

Slut shaming is basically looking down on women for having sex while celebrating men for their conquests.  The good ol' double standard.  [/quote]

At least one of the PPs does not believe that the double standard exists. That boys get shamed for being sexually active too.

That was not my experience in high school 15 years ago and it is not my observation of what happens now.[/quote]
