“Slut” is the New “Liberal”

by mistermix

Proving that Rush runs the conversation in the Republican Party, the California Republicans’ Communications Director has rolled out her new strategy—if you disagree with Rush, then you’re a slut.

1. What would that make the men she (supposedly) sleeps with?

Do these idiots not get it that you don't need birth control to have sex with yourself (or another woman)? There's another party involved, always, and it's a man. What do you call a heterosexual male who has non-procreational sex? Is there even a term?

[UpInArms]

4. here's a lovely writing on just that subject

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/lisa-wexler/thank-you-rush-limbaugh_b_1317820.html

Slut is a loaded word, a word used for many years to impugn women for exercising sexual freedom. Men are not sluts. We don't even have a word in English for men who like a lot of sex with different partners. What does that tell you about the corrosive effect of discriminatory language? We don't have a word for men who sleep around, therefore we don't even have a way to express the idea that such behavior might be as morally bad for men as it is judged to be for women. Of course, that is not surprising.

The thought that a woman might actually enjoy sex for its own sake is so scary to some men that they will do anything to shut us up, including wrapping a burka around us, body and soul. You even invent words to tell us how sinful our behavior is. Thank you so much today for removing one of the uglier of those words from our vocabulary. After today's tirade, the word slut has become a badge of honor, a rallying cry for all women who demand freedom.

I envision a march on Washington, joined by my fellow women, and the many men who love and like us, in which we link arms and wear sandwich boards declaring, "I am a slut too". Now that you have rendered the word "slut" impotent, perhaps you can refill your Viagra prescription. But since you don't approve of sex for fun, I know you won't mind our insistence that Viagra be banned from health insurance. After all, if we can't enjoy sex, neither can you.

[malaise]

13. I'm a happy slut

Fugg 'em

[marlakay]

16. Men can do whatever they want

but put the little women in the back row…ugh…i am soo sick of republicans wanting to take us back 300 years!!

[Odin2005]

9. Sex is only good if the women aren't enjoying it. That's their...

...fucked-up cave-man thinking.

[i heart xenu]

11. Male hoebag.

Work for you?

[frazzled]

14. No, it doesn't work

First of all, because it incorporates, albeit in slang form, the female derogative "whore." It's still an insult to women.

Second, because it's made up. It's not in common use.

Third, because I don't believe that people, male or female, who engage in non-procreational sex, single or married, are bad people.

Actually, I don't care for embracing the slut thing either. It plays into their hands.

It's so sad that after all these millennia, women who engage in sex are deemed immoral while the men who have sex with them are fine. It's about keeping us barefoot and pregnant .... still.

[Volaris]

15. What do you call an adult Human who has non-procreational sex? (fixed it in context of the answer)

Normal.

[frazzled]

17. Bingo ... but

as we've been discussing: throughout history and even today, a woman who does so gets called names; a man does not.

[TroglodyteScholar]

2. Just a creepy opportunist trying to catch a ride on Rush's disgusting coattails.

Pay this moron no mind...you'll never hear of him again.

[HappyMe]

3. Irrelevant morans.

Pay them no mind.

[RevStPatrick]

5. Personally, I think we should make "slut" the new...

...Yankee Doodle!

I was raised on a steady diet of sluts, and I loved every single one of them.
Years later, I am now Facebook "friends" with many of the sluts from my past, and they are all wonderful, productive and responsible women.

I'm seeing and spending some time with a younger generation of sluts coming up, and there are times that I wish I was 20 years younger, in order to enjoy their lovely sluthood. However, my fabulously slutty wife is still slutty enough to satisfy my slutty desires, so it's all good.

I think outrage is the wrong approach...

[randome]

7. Outrage gives them power over you.

You're right, it's the wrong approach.

[HappyMe]

8. Exactly.

[Warpy]

6. This is the reason for Slutwalks around the planet

We refuse to be silenced by slut shaming. If they want to call us sluts, then we will parade as proud sluts whether or not we're virgins. Slut shaming tries to silence all of us.

[Cleita]

12. +++ 1000

Time to own it and to start naming the likes of the sex scandal involved males man-whores.

[JHB]

10. Just to note, Krystal Ball ran for congress (Virginia, I think)

That is her real name.
