[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.

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

If that is how you define it, then of course it is wrong. Here is where I think there is further confusion, if one can believe that, because this seems so obvious to me as well. ANYONE who engages in sex like this (at any age, but my god HS???) should be held accountable for these shameful actions. NO ONE should be celebrated for it in any way. Have we really gotten so far off course that we think the solution to "celebrating" boys shameful behavior is to turn around and celebrate girls when they do that?[/quote]

Couldn't disagree more. No one should be criticized for how much sex they have or don't have. The sex lives of others is NONE of your business. If my high school daughter is having sex with her boyfriend or with 5 guys, it's none of your business.

It's not about "celebrating." It's about people minding their own business.

Your high school age daughter is too young to be having sex with her boyfriend, or with 5 boyfriends. If she chooses to do so, she is going to have to live with the consequences. Your just lucky that I'm teaching my kids to be kind to her, even if though they should not associate with her. Most people are saying horrible things behind her back.[/quote]
