I can across this article this morning. This man has come up with 24 reasons for how a woman is classified as a slut. A few of the reasons are: She has tattoos (especially one's that are visible), has a "slut face" ("you either recognize it or you don't", he writes), she's not ticklish (she's used to being touched by men), has big tits (started messing around at a young age because her breasts starting growing in at a young age), and, my favorite of course, says she's a feminist (because most feminist believe in sexual freedom she'll be an easy lay). It's so sad because he has slept with, I'm sure, many women yet here he is commenting on how slutty these women are because they'd hook up with a stranger, the exact same thing he is doing. It's that double standard that we have about men and women: women have to be virgins and pure until marriage and men are excused for sleeping around before they get married.

I was looking through the comments on this article (bad idea...) and I came across this one:

"It was going around Tumblr as a "look how funny this article is" joke post. And then I came in here and saw all these women getting upset about it, and I'm like, "Really? You can't tell that this in jest? Calm the hell down."" 

Of course I get why people say that, but it just doesn't sit well with me. Regardless if this is "in jest" or not, it doesn't matter. It makes people think these sorts of views are okay, that women who sleep with strangers fall under the "slut" category and that all those characteristics make a woman a slut. I believe that the word "slut" is not bad, that it is something a woman can embrace, but I'm sure that's not what the author of this article had in mind.
