Yeah, thats right... Its a direct quote... I couldn't tell you where from, but I heard it one day, blarring from the speakers of a car that went through the drive through at my work. Kind of a shocking statement to hear though as you are punching in the cash amount and handing out the change. Considering I am a girl of today, I was quite offened by the rather rude and judgementle statement made from a very liberal radio station. One name of a very popular moive star was infront of that statement, but it made me think of just putting my own name or the name of all my female friends there. Not because I was thinking that every girl today is a prostitute, but because not all of us are.
So, what exactly is a slut? If you ask another female, I think most of us would say a woman that doesnt cover enough of her body when she is dressed and is willing to get undressed with more than one guy in the period of one month; well, that would be my definition. If you asked a guy, I think he would say a girl that has been with him and his best friend. Now, what my very old dictionary says is 1. a careless, dirty, slovenly woman; slattern 2. a sexually immoral woman and 3. a female dog; bitch.
So, lets start with definition number one from the old dictionary. A careless, dirty, slovenly woman. I need an example for a girl of today, so Im just gonna go with me. I, personaly, care about alot of things and always think before I do or say something. So being careless is out. Dirty, my hair does get a little messy sometimes, but I shower daily; change my sheets every other week; brush my teeth 2 to 3 times a day; dont eat off the ground too often; and prefer my cleaned, just out of the dryer clothes to the ones that are in the hamper. I couldn't really ever define myself as dirty. Now, am I a sloven or do I have slovenly characteristics? Ok, my room is a little untidy, but I care about my appearance, and my work. I do have a few bad habits, but do those and my messy hair make me a slut according to definition 1? I personally dont think so.
Definition 2. a sexually immoral woman. Now, what is the exact definition of a sexually immoral woman? Sexually would most easily be described as having sex. The exact definition of immoral is not in conformity with accepted principles of right and wrong behavior; contrary to the moral code of the community; wicked; not in conformity with the accepted standards of proper sexual behavior; unchaste. I'm sorry to say that I'm a sexual woman, but am I sexually immoral? So lets dig into this immoral part. The code of my community in the state of New Mexico would be the law of New Mexico. And in that law, it says that a young adult, male or female, is aloud to give consent at the age of 16, as long as the other member is not over 4 years older than them and is not under 16. Considering that, Im still in the all clear "I'm not a slut" zone. Wicked, not me. Accepted standards of sexual behavior these days would be don't sleep with two guys in one month and use protection. I'm still not a slut. Unchaste, I'm not going out and doing it with someone that is under 16 or that is 23 years or older, so Im following the law. So, according to this definition, I'm not a slut.
And, last time I checked, I dont have a tail, I don't walk on four legs, and I don't bark or growl at anything. Definition 3 does not prove me as a slut.
I am a girl of today, but according to this very old dictionary, I'm not a slut. According to a very liberal radio station blarring from a very angry guy's truck, I am. I'm your normal 17 year old girl that lives in today, and I'm not gonna listen to some stupid radio station that says I am. Unless you fit under either of the three definitions for slut from the old dictionary, then you should not allow any person to call you a slut, not even a liberal radio station.
