just a thought. but in raising our girls to embrace slut the feel and definition of what it is is still there. regardless. so though we are saying their sexuality is as equal as to a boys sexuality, allowing the word slut to be given to our girls to hear/be.... i am thinking.... subconsciously gives the behavior of sexuality that is not healthy for them. it is not healthy for either gender. the boy is not dealing with the definition of slut. but even with our boys, a sexual behavior that is not healthy does hurt. we are not only ignoring this aspect with our girls, but we are giving them a word to own, that subconsciously approves, demands, insists on the unhealthy experience of our sexuality. so, in a way we are helping to clear the way for our girls to walk sexuality in a very unhealthy manner. all in a subconscious, nonpurposeful way.
first time exploring this thought and possibility. no more.
