are you seriously quoting the Urban Dictionary and trying to pass it off for intellectual thought?

Laura, I sincerely hope, for your sake, that you are as pretty as you are dumb. Risk is not an all or nothing abstraction. We are concerned about how much more risk is attributed to a particular activity. For example, driving in NY carries a certain risk of bodily harm and/or death; but there is a lot more risk for the same if the same person is riding a motorbike.

In the same manner, a girl having multiple sexual partners has a lot higher risk of STD's than if she is monogamous. To get even more specific, let's talk about Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia (Cervical Cancer). Human Pappiloma Virus (HPV) DNA is detected in virtually all cases of cervical cancer. HPV types 16, 18, 31 and 33 are associated with a very high risk of Cervical Cancer in women. Now, men can carry this virus asymptomatically and transmit it to women. 80% of sexually active people have HPV, whether they have symptoms or not.

The risk of getting Cervical Cancer (CIN) for women dramatically increases with the number of sexual partners they have. In fact, it is the #1 risk factor for Cervical Carcinoma.

You should really read more and be more informed before making baseless assumptions and believing them.

The writer of this article might just be a nymphomaniac. That's good though, because she is providing a valuable service to humanity and taking care of her own needs at the same time. She is using a mature defense mechanism of sublimation by putting her "problem" to good use. In fact, she can do even better by becoming a prostitute and make a lot of money doing what she loves doing. I say more power to you… at least until your looks hold up. After that, it's Wiley Coyote time baby.

i have sex, regularly. and not with the same person.

thats boring, men get away with it because nothings going inside them.

i was raised to worship my vagina, and not give it away to just anyone.

and i say fuck it. i do what i want , when i want how i want.

because it's a mans world, they actually get away with it.

i absolutely love this piece.

not going to lie, i've gone with the slut bashing, but i realized i cant call anyone a slut unless they're worse then me.. but even then i wont because facts are.

I'M A SLUT, AND I'M PROUD !

I think your piece raises an interesting point regarding your analogy between the monetary price placed on women in the ye old times when they were seen basically on the same level as cattle or goats raises, and the modern day counterpart of doing something so simple as being called a slut an extremely valid point relevant to our modern western culture. one can talk about sexual politics or s.t.d.s or female chauvinism (that makes me laugh) but from my point of view those things have little to do with her point. So here’s the scary and radical feminist idea,… you know what’s coming: that proverb: feminism is simply the idea that women are actually human beings…. crazy i kno. Almost as crazy as desegregating schools in the 50s or giving women the vote 80ish years ago. Although women’s ability to be realized as being of the same status in society of men, can be seen from either a micro or macrocosmic perspective, and the degree of our progression towards gender equality is not necessarily as tangible as it was a couple hundred, a hundred, or even 50 years ago, (depending on weather one is trying to take a micro or macrocosmic perspective of historical events). One can still see the through back to a more patriarchal feudalistic society in something as simple as the double standard which our society still holds about male and female promiscuity, and the simple word itself and the connotations which it holds: “slut” women and men use this word all the time, and quite frankly it is too simple say that the double standard serves as a mechanism to oppress women. What it in fact does is it serves dehumanize women and objectify them. It serves to equate their value as human beings relative to weather or not they are a virgin, or weather or not they have sleep with more guys or girls than anyone else has. Our society today does not view an unmarried woman with a popped cherry unsalvageable material, but it certainly does still place a women’s value on how physically attractive she is to an extent.
Society does not only place value of humanity as equal to the physical exterior, we do it to men too, and kids, in fact our brains are predisposed to favor those who are attractive and look physically fit or strong over the weak because by favoring the strong, it helps to genitally strengthen the species as a whole.
Yes genetically women are predisposed to being more selective then men, yes men tend to look for quantity rather than quality, but the rationalization that the double-standard for, not only promiscuity, but also a fucking hoard of other things which our CULTURE upholds is in no way the just the result of “genetic politics”, but instead a result of the institutionalization of women’s oppression came with the development of agriculture in combination with our own genetic predispositions. Things have changed though; the majority of the population is no longer living on farms, but instead working desk jobs.

It is a dangerous thing to act as if calling women who are self-fulfilling in their sexual desires sluts because it is perpetuates the idea that women are subhuman, and in specific the person you are haphazardly calling a slut. Funny how there’s no word that applies specifically to males, which not only says that they are promiscuous, but also holds the connotation that they are a worthless and filthy human being. You can see how when women are bombarded with the little things like the haphazard throwing a word, or constant flashing of a picture on a tv screen, or the way that the media washes down their intelligence, you can that over a life time these things manifest, and can be viewed in the higher rates of anorexia and borderline personality disorders among women, the and growing porn industry which is targeted exceedingly to a male audience to my disappointment, (I mean common, they never even show the men’s faces, its always just some girl with fake tits faking an orgasm) showing that not only are women psychologically dominated by these little things, but men are as well, in addition to the lower incomes which they receive, and the rates of domestic abuse.

Very true, Dan. I still find it amazing how many people pass off prejudices as "insights". What's more amazing is how many other people defend these "insights".

But I do agree that the word "slut" must be used a little more selectively. Not every woman who directly expresses a thought/feeling, actually respects men's feelings, or isn't constantly shying away from men at every turn is a "slut".

And for the record, there is a difference between "feminism" and "female chauvinism"; in my experience, any woman who ever seemed to call herself a feminist was actually a female chauvinist in disguise. It just sounds like "sisterhood" in this discussion is an excuse for sexism.

And also, in my experience, whenever I find that a woman directly said that she wanted "to be judged on her personality", she usually had a bad one…and got offended when I called her on it.

One last note: Just because I do not automatically put women at a lower standard, put them at 10x higher regard, and feel sorrier for them than I do men does NOT mean that I think that women are inferior to men.
