earthlyillusion: One, the word “slut” is used to shame women for having consensual sex. It is not an objective adjective. It is a gender-specific insult used to make women hate their own sexual desires. So therefore, calling Isabela a slut is not “a fact”, you moron. By using that word, you are bashing her. Full stop. Two, barely anyone shames men for sleeping around. I have rarely heard the term “manwhore” used in a negative way (more as a joke). Also, don’t you think it’s a little telling that we need to add the word “man” to it in order for it to be relatable to men? That the default word “whore” automatically refers to women? Three, fuck you. Patriarchy is so fucking entrenched in our society to the point where people are defending their use of the word “slut”.
