A slut is a slut. Look it up in the dictionary, a male can be a slut too. I talk to alot of single folks. Many single men believe a complaining wife is one of the easiest lays.
Lol. I’m not sure why this is pushing my buttons today and I’ll reflect on what’s going on for me that makes me feel so reactive – but …. there are a lot of undesirable words in the dictionary. There are racist words, sexist words, homophobic words. Would a racist word that was in the dictionary be acceptable to use?
Slut in normal usage is a derogatory term (according to dictionary.com) for
1. a dirty, slovenly woman. 2. an immoral or dissolute woman; prostitute.
In this context I can only assume we are referring to def 2 – an immoral or dissolute woman; prostitute.
I kinda take umbrage at the use of the term for a woman who commits one act of adultery. It’s a long way from taking a lover to being an “immoral or dissolute woman; prostitute”.
It’s perhaps not a moral choice, it’s certainly a selfish choice, it is probably a cry for help from a very unhappy woman … but a slut? I don’t think so.
I’ve slept with 3 men since my divorce 4 years ago. Am I a s? Depending on your definition, it’s possible I’m more of an s than our hypothetical sister because I’ve slept with more men … she slept with one man but she was married. What a horrible and alarming (and hideously anti-feminist) thought – there are degrees of slutness!!!!
It’s just not a nice word. That’s all.
I think a slut means someone who is overly loose with sex and sexual morality. I don't think your a slut by that definition.
If you where cheating on your husband with one night stands met at bars and parties, allowing the deepest sexual sympathy with people who you do not know, you have banged multiple male co-worker in the same office, and peoples husbands... Thats a slut.
I don't call a slut a prostitute, although it may be. A whore is a prostitute and that means sex in exchange for goods and services or money. A whore will lay with people they do not like at all to exchange sexual acts for compensation.
It is what it is, and its why we come up with words that describe things and behaviors.
