The sexual taboo
Feminism has taken a backstep. There, I said it. We appear to have abandoned the Spice Girls ‘girl power’ of the 90s and regressed back to the 50s; we are now waging the sexual war of the sluts and the players.
The word ‘slut’ was invented by men to insult women, while the word ‘player’ was also invented by men to glorify their success in the sexual sphere. Now is it just me, or do we have some sort of double standard emerging here? I can practically hear ‘LADS’ reciting that ridiculous ‘lock and key’ theory as I write this. All I have to say is, what really makes you and me different? You have one different chromosome; biology decided to make you male, me female. Yet it is still acceptable for men to be players but if a female behaves in the exact same way, she’s a ‘slut’.
I have one thing and one thing only to say to man-whores: you are not husband or boyfriend material. No girl wants a man who’s had countless women in his bed. Take heed, I know a guy who picked up scabies from sleeping with lucky number 89. Also take heed of the fact that a short and dress and high heels is not an invitation into someone’s knickers, nor is it an admission of promiscuity. That ‘slut’ may have slept with one person or even none for all you know.
We live in a tragic era of slut shaming, but we are fighting back and will continue to do so, with such events as SlutWalking and Boobquake (ladies, Google immediately). So to the gentlemen who can’t seem to keep it in their trousers, stop judging the ladies who lead the same lifestyle as you. It’s a little hypocritical, don’t you agree? After all, this is 2013.
