    Most women learn from a very young age that the real definition of slut is 1) you used to have sex with me and not longer do so you’re a slut; 2) I want to have sex with you but you don’t notice me therefore you’re a slut; and 3) my boyfriend, husband, guy I like thinks you’re hot so you’re a slut. Doesn’t have anything to do with what sex the “slut” may or may not be having. Many women were labelled sluts while they were still virgins.

        slut isn’t a slur lol Otherwise, neither of us would be casually dropping it without fear of social repercussion.

      I guess it would make sense to counter that slur with a counter-slur.

      I.e., when somebody calls you a slut, respond by calling them a “needy one” or sth. Might hit a spot.

      where the “need” is the need to be an asshole, i mean
