this thing, it confuses me
So people who are really in to the whole slut-shaming thing seem to be drawn to something about me. I have difficulty reconciling their active slut-shaming of other people with my seeming to get a pass.
And I’m not talking about random people I meet on the street, I mean people who’ve known me long enough to “know better.” I realize that I don’t make it terribly easy for people to figure out where I fall on whatever continua people’s sex lives are evaluated upon; the fact that so many people think that I’m an unsullied prude is evidence enough. It’s also entirely possible that there is some sort of Freudian projection going on with people who have some sort of interpersonal agendas in play, but seriously, what do I have to do to convince people that as a slut myself - covertly as I may comport myself - that slut-shaming is not something that should be engaged in with me?
Lots of sluts are perfectly worthwhile people. Maybe not me, but lots of the ones I’ve met, whether we were slutty with each other or not.
