Slut or slattern (if I drove a Saturn, I’d call it the Slattern Saturn) is a pejorative term that denotes an individual who has loose morals and is known for their wanton ways. It’s generally used negatively and mostly towards women. Personally, I think women should take it back and make it their own like those riot girls tried to do in the 90s and in these videos of slutty solo girls in HD! I’d also like to see a XXX movie of Courtney Love going down on Kathleen Hanna. I’d settle for lookalikes.

According to the Online Etymology dictionary it’s also used as a 19 century euphemism for bitch to describe a female dog. They also use an example that I find hilarious: “Our little girl Susan is a most admirable slut and pleases us mightily.” So you knew from a young age that your daughter was going to be a slummock (fancy word for slut). Nice. Do most pornstars feel the same way? They must. Below is what I imagine Susan looks like now. She’s the most admirable Brigham Young University student who pleases the basketball team so mightily.

There is no clear origin of the first use of the word except  that Chaucer (Paul Bettany in A Knight’s Tale or that guy who’s boring book you had to read in school) used sluttish in the 14th century to describe a man. Also, Amelia gave me a copy of The Canterbury Tales for my birthday one year so I bought the Cliff’s Notes and told her I not only read it twice but loved it. This is what we do when we like having sex with someone. Guess it makes me slutty.

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.

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.

Why do women stop themselves from what they really want to do sexually? That’s an easy question to answer – there are still double standards about sex.

As far as we’ve 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 it’s 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 don’t even realize that they’re doing it, but many, many men still consider the woman to be a slut if she puts out on the first date.

It’s 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 “don’t 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 women’s 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 aren’t 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.

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.
