sexedplus:This piece about slut-shaming is some kind of expansion of this post and companion to this post about prude-shaming. None of my stuff is ever intended to be totally comprehensive or the last word on any subject. For example, in this piece I didn’t even have a chance to talk explicitly about gender, or mention intersections with race, or overlaps with rape culture, or the way slut- and prude-shaming work together to create a terrible double-bind. But if you follow SexEdPlus, maybe I’ll get to some of that stuff later! My piece about prude-shaming has been getting a bunch of reblogs, so I wanted to reshare this companion piece. Both parts are important, and they kind of go hand-in-hand! (Particularly because *sometimes* affirmation of having sex can be used as their own kind of prude-sharming and affirmations of not having sex can be used as their own kind of slut-shaming.) -- source link
