It's none of your business...



So, basically, girls need to stop calling girls names because of their sexuality. Do you know how many names there are for a "promiscuous" girl that are used with a negative connotation? Slut, whore, ho, trick, etc.--- the list goes on and on. Women need to stop hating on other women. Yeah, that girl in your bio class may be known as "easy"--but calling her a slut is not cool. We get angry about the double standards about sex in our culture. Society tells us that girls who have premarital sex are dirty, bad, easy, etc. On the other hand, they tell us that boys who have premarital sex are experimenting, becoming men, just being boys, etc. So, sexuality is made into a male phenomenon that women are excluded from. If women are sexual, something is wrong and they aren't "good."

Obviously, as feminists, we know that this is a skewed view, one that we are working vigilantly to tear down. But every time a woman says of another woman, "Oh, she's a slut," it reinforces the idea that a woman's sexuality is bad. So, if I wanna take a guy home with me tonight--it's none of your business. And if you wanna take a guy home with you tonight--it's none of my business. Stop perpetuating the double standards, ladies!!
