Slut Shaming and Why It's Wrong

This 13 year old girl seriously has her shit together! I mean, I knew people in my 4th YEAR Women Studies courses who weren't this articulate and wise. I hope her parents are proud! Do you "slut shame"? Do you know someone who does? What are your thoughts on this? I personally do not hesitate to call people on their slut shaming tendencies. It does nothing more then uphold rape culture stereotypes and pass the blame/shame of rape on to women. Because it is our fault for being the victim of a sexual attack? I would love to hear your thoughts on this topic!

  1. Wow! What an amazingly articulate young woman! Totally agree with her (and with you). I think most people don't really think of the underlying implications of their comments. Not only does it contribute to upholding rape-culture stereotypes, but it just tears down other women and devalues them. Thanks so much for sharing!

  3. wow. she's very right, but I do feel a little weird hearing about sex stuffs from a 13 year old. Definitely NOT judging because she's right on the money with this topic. And how CUTE is she?!
