“Realize that anyone who tries to put you down about your appearance is assuming that it is your job to please them visually. Once you realize that it isn’t your job to be visually pleasing to anyone, ever, it becomes very hard for anyone to make you feel bad about yourself.” —

The Slut Word

There’s been a bit of a break in posts because we’ve all been super busy with school in session, but I just want to clarify something:

It is perfectly acceptable to behave “like a slut.”

It is perfectly acceptable to embrace the term slut, to call yourself a slut and mean it positively.

It is UNacceptable to assume other people want to be called sluts, regardless of your own feelings about the term.  It is SUPER UNacceptable to think (and, certainly, to say) that a person is ashamed or sex-negative if they ask to not be called a slut.

Do not call me a slut, please.

That is all.  Hopefully more posts to come over Winter Break!
