Slut is such a great word. We all use it; sometimes for good, sometimes for evil. If we think someone’s too promiscuous we’ll slap them with the SLUT label. Or, when we’re really into a girl and we think she wants it bad and we’re the only one that can give it her, she’s our little slut. In college there was this one girl, let’s call her Amelia, who would share my tiny dorm room bed with me on more than one occasion. Amelia was kinda nerdy but hot as fuck so I’d put up with her constantly telling me the etymology of words. Plus, she was flexible, which is key when you’re trying to fuck in single bed. In honor of my bookworm slut, I’d like to present to you the origins of the word slut.

It’s 2011, Let’s Accept The Sluts
Thursday, June 16th, 2011Most men seem to be pretty clueless when it comes to dating. They get on a computer and find the online personals and forget any sense of manners or decorum, and then they seem surprised when the women seem to be largely disinterested at best and hostile at worst. They often seem to want to jump right in to talking about sex and then start having sex really quickly, totally skipping the getting to know you part that most women are expecting. Men seem to use sex as a way to determine if there is compatibility, but women often feel that they don’t want to have sex unless they feel there is compatibility. It’s a perfect example of the whole Mars vs. Venus thing that we’ve heard so much about for years now.
Dating is always kind of confusing for everybody, but it sometimes seems especially difficult for people of opposite genders simply because they communicate completely differently and they think and reason completely differently, so what makes sense to one doesn’t make any sense whatsoever to the other. Sometimes it seems like a miracle that anyone is ever able to get together. Some of the dating websites offer articles and quizzes specifically designed to help people identify better relationship matches for themselves by matching personality types and explaining some of what’s going on in each gender’s heads to help them achieve better, clearer communication.
One of the problems with the man’s approach of jumping straight into discussing sexual topics is that women still have to worry because there still a double standard regarding sex. Men are still expected to have sex whenever possible, and women are still viewed as sluts if they have sex too soon. Unfortunately, there are still men out there that will dump a woman that has sex with them too quickly in spite of the fact that they’ve been pressuring the woman for sex the entire time and trying to seduce her. When they succeed too quickly they decide that the woman is a slut and they end the budding relationship immediately. It’s pretty confusing for most women, and it doesn’t help women feel any better about men and their motives when dating. It’s time for everyone to grow up a bit and start being more open and honest and stop judging each other.
CITY STREET’S FILLED WITH SLUTS
Tuesday, April 5th, 2011A mob of angry Toronto marchers took to the streets sunday afternoon in what they are calling a ” Slut March ” in retaliation to controversial comments made by a police constable earlier this year.
In January, Toronto Police cons. Michael Sanguinetti mentioned to a personal security class at York University that ” Women should avoid dressing like sluts in order not to be victimzed.” What a crazy fucker, the more the woman looks like a whore, the better!
The officer Michael Sanguinetti apologized for his absolutely ridiculous comment, but his apology failed to satisfy walk organizer Sonya Barnett.
” It was evident that if you’re going to have a representative of the police force come out ( and say that ) then that kind of idea must still be running rampant within the police force itself and that retraining really needs to happen to change that mentally.” she explains.
A statement on the event’s website says: ” Toronto Police have perpetuated the myth and stereotype of the slut, and in doing so have failed us.”
The walk started wit a series of speeches at Queen’s park at 1:30 pm ET. Then the sluts marched to Toronto Police Headquarters on college street.
When the story was first heard by Toronto Police Chief Bill Blair in January he mentioned that Sanguinetti’s comments highlight a ” training issue ” inside the force.
” If that type of, frankly, archaic thinking still exists among any of my officers, it highlights for me the need to continue to train my officers and sensitize them to the reality of victimization,” he said.
The comments attributed to the officer “place the blame upon victims, and that’s not where the blame should be placed,” Blair mention’s.
Sex on the First Date
Sunday, November 28th, 2010It was a great first date. The meal was great, the conversation flowed easily, the flirting was hot and heavy and now, standing outside the ladys front door, the moment of truth. He goes in for the kiss. She yields and kisses back. We all know what happens next, dont we? He tries for a little more, she allows it. He suggests they move inside. She wants to, really wants to, but something holds her back.
Why do women stop themselves from what they really want to do sexually? Thats an easy question to answer there are still double standards about sex.
As far as weve come with equality and sexual freedom, there are still a lot of heterosexual men out there who will try to get lucky on the first date then harshly judge the woman who says yes. Sometimes its not a conscious judgment, but suddenly that woman he was so into the night before seems less interesting in the light of day. Is it just old programming? It seems that many men dont even realize that theyre doing it, but many, many men still consider the woman to be a slut if she puts out on the first date.
Its no secret that this mindset is still prevalent in our society. In all the books and online lists of dating rules for women, one of the rules is always dont have sex until X date if you want him to keep seeing you. On matchmaking television shows, that appears to be a standard rule. How is it possible – in this world of fluid genders, S&M gaining social acceptability, and vibrators being standard equipment for most women how is it even possible that this double standard could still be prevalent in the dating world?
This situation actually says a lot about our society and the state of womens equality. Ninety years after women won the right to vote, decades after feminism and the sexual revolution, women are still seen as sluts and not marriage material by men who happily took what was offered to them when it was offered. The men arent looked down on nearly as much as the women who acquiesce. American society cannot possibly advance to a higher level until true equality for everyone and in every way has been achieved.
A Case Of The ‘Slut Face’
Tuesday, November 2nd, 2010Sometimes, it’s not just about looking good. Our expressions, as much as we’d like to think otherwise, can often serve as good indications to whether or not we are attractive in the eyes of others. Take the popular ‘slut face’, for example. The ever-so-subtle blank yet determined look that both confuses and attracts the opposite sex.
There’s something to be said about girls with ‘slut faces’. One look at them and you’ll start to wonder whether, if pressed, she’d just walk straight over you and go about her way. After all, that’s the type of attitude they’re portraying, one that is both empty and aggressive. A case of no apologies. However, one must wonder: is the ‘slut face’ something that could actually determine one’s sexual activity?
If you ask me, regardless of the way someone dresses, or what facial expressions they give off, nothing is set in stone – therefore, it’s impossible to really know how many sexual partners one has solely based on those factors. And while it could certainly give off a few indicatives, it is certainly not a dead giveaway.
Next time you come across a woman with a case of the “slut face”, consider the fact that perhaps she’s just using her outer shell as a means of protection. Who knows, maybe despite her slutty appearance, she’s a wholesome librarian with good values and a modest sex life. But then again, she could be a man eating whore whose into free porn. Like they say, don’t judge a book by its cover.
