So, here's the thing. In the US, there's a whole issue regarding sluts who want the government to pay for their frisky ways. At least, that's the case if you listen to the radio commentary.
So, being who I am, I'd like to talk about sluts. At least, I'd like to talk about the women that the far right have labeled sluts and their cowardly supporters have chosen not to denounce. Profiles in courage indeed.
Based on my reading, a slut is a woman that engages in pre-martial sex and expects that her insurance should cover the legitimate costs of her birth control and the elements that it helps a host of other health issues. It is someone who doesn't meekly wait for marriage to define her sex life, but dares to take the same approach as men, that her sex life is her choice.
If that's the case, then my support is with the sluts. The recent slut walks have done a lot to take back the term, but I think there's another step to happen. The slut is apparently the ladies who chose me, instead of me fluffing my ego by say I gifted them with my penis. It's the remarkable ladies who said that they were willing to take a risk, that their pleasure could be found with me. It's for the ones who said no, and didn't need to justify it against the ones they said yes to. It's for the ones who decided that being judged as a saint/whore wasn't based on the fact of who they choose to be with or not. It was how they chose to judge their own lives.
I'm honoured to have sluts as my friends. The women who spat in the eye of everyone who told them who they were supposed to be and instead risks all to be who she really was. She's the cowboy; the super-spy; the action hero who against a thousand forces beating her down choose to be who she was. That is the sexiest thing a woman can be; herself.
Men should use slut as the ultimate sign of respect; a woman who makes her own decisions and makes her own choices on the same level as them. Anything else is just pitiful self-delusion.
