The episode I watched had a segment on "Slut" and it got me thinking about the UnSlut Project that I also just recently became aware of. Contrary to popular belief, women like sex too and should be free to have consensual sex with whoever they want, whenever they want and not feel ashamed. It's 2013 so let's evolve and get rid of the stereotype that women who have lots of sex are bad while guys who have lots of sex are studs. Who do they think these "studs" are having sex with? (Unless they're homosexual of course.)
In my Language, Gender and Power class as an undergrad our teacher asked us to list all the names for guys who have a lot of sex and also a list for women who do the same. The result? All the names for these guys were positive and all the names for these women were negative. Not cool.
This week is Clitoris Awareness Week and this very educational video tells us the fact that the clitoris' only function is for pleasure. Men don't have this. What does that tell you? We've been duped! Society has been trying to oppress women's sexual pleasure because it's so powerful. Women's bodies are powerful and that power has for many women been untapped because we're distracted by all the things we're told we're supposed to be or ways we're supposed to look to fit in or be liked.
I say open your eyes girls! Get to know your bodies and what makes you tick. Speak up for your own pleasure when you're with a partner. You, and they, will be so much happier for it.
P.S. Think twice before you call another girl a slut as an insult. Girls just wanna have fun, right? Instead how about saying "Yo go girl!". Yes, it's corny/cliche, but unless they're hurting you, remember that they have feelings too.
