No it's not. Slut shaming would be trying to humiliate or insult ("shame") a person who has lots of sex with lots of different partners (the actual meaning of the word "slut").

This discussion is about how many parents don't think short tight dresses that show off tons of cleavage and the butt is a good look. It's tacky, it's rarely flattering, it's unnecessary, and it's particularly objectionable at a school event.

Nobody except the wearer of the dress, the romantic partner of the wearer of the dress, and any close confidantes of the wearer of the dress knows how much sex if any someone wearing a dress like that has been having, and it doesn't matter anyway. Because the point isn't that wearing a dress like that makes a girl a "slut" (it doesn't; someone wearing that kind of dress could have had any amount of sex ranging from none to she lost track of how much. And it still wouldn't matter.). This isn't about sex or "sluts"; it's about dressing in an appropriate and flattering way.

Clearly, many parents do not believe that certain types of dresses are acceptable for their high school aged daughters. Is having standards for acceptable manner of dress for your children no longer part of parenting? When and why did this become a bad thing to monitor?[/quote]
