Anonymous asked: You know, for all the speaking out against "slut-shaming" that you do, you do fail to realize that by calling it "slut shaming", you're still calling a girl a slut. Yeah, taking words like "whore", "slut", and other derogatory words for women and using them like some ironic banner is cute and all, but you don't do much about the problem at hand. Have fun "changing" society.

clearly you misunderstand me. the whole point of fighting slut shaming is that i disagree with the use of words like “slut” and “whore”. i am not calling anyone a slut by using the term slut shaming, my point is that to use such words is to shame someone. i’m not seeking to use them ironically or cutely. i refuse to label any person based on their sexual lifestyle.

and on a personal note, i really don’t appreciate anonymous anger like this. if you want to have an intelligent, civil discussion with me about the principles i advocate for, then i’m more than willing to do that. i’d be really happy to do that. but please, show me the respect to put your face on the things you say.
