re: Slut Vs. Sweet

I can't stand Taylor Swift and I'm not really a Miley fan either.
That being said I don't agree with labeling ANY woman a slut for any reason.
All it does is perpetuate the cycle of misogyny and sexism. Men are NEVER in the news for being "too risque" or "slutty" etc, yet society is quick to jump on a woman who is open with her sexuality and label her. It's bullsmurf.

David Duchovny was. He was in several tabloids and People magazine and they were talking about his sexual behavior. Turns out he is a sex addict.

The only time men are in the news for it is stuff like Tiger Woods but even then there is backhanded appraisal of the acts. And it's always labeled as a sex addiction...when is the last time you heard of a woman being labeled a sex addict? They don't get that "explanation" of their behavior. They get called a slut.

I think this is a case of reading a book by its cover...you dress provocatively people assume your a slapper, dress like a lady and no one thinks much of it..
