Who You Callin' a SLUT!?

Any woman in power or woman who has thumbed her nose at convention has probably been called a SLUT. Been there, done that, used to hate it, and now I just laugh my ass off. 

As if there is something wrong with a sexually active woman? Ha, and people lament the plight of women in the Middle East (sarcasm intended). 

I've been thinking about this "slut" issue for quite a while now, ever since I read the book "Loose Girl: A Tale of Promiscuity". I've been meaning to read the book  "Slut! Growing Up Female With a Bad Reputation" for a while now and I have just gotten around to recently ordering it.  I look forward to hearing the personal stories in the book as well as stories of any woman with big enough ovaries to leave a comment here. Confess, repent, let it all out, sista!

So I'd like to take a little stroll down memory lane and examine this "slut" issue and how it has played out in my life-the good, the scandalous, and the ugly. I would have to honestly say that it has had a significant impact on my life. I've prepared a couple of posts that I'll be uploading over the next couple of days about my personal experiences. In the meantime, I want to pose the following questions:
  • Have you ever been called a slut? 
  • Who is your favorite woman who has expressed absolute lack of remorse regarding being promiscuous? 
  • Are you a slut-say it loud and say it proud?
Stay tuned!

Being called a "slut" is dominant culture's way of controlling a woman's sexuality. If society allowed women to explore their sexuality as freely as men, more women would know how lousy most men are in bed. Experience would give them a better barometer to compare. Men attempt to keep women down so that their own flaws aren't highlighted as they deserve to be.

Amen, sista!

Interestingly, I myself have only been with 1 woman who I'd consider excellent in bed. Most women that "think" they are good in bed are actually only average or good at best. It's extremely rare to find a woman who's excellent in bed.

I'm sure that most women would have a similar story to tell-most of the men who they have slept with are horrible lovers.

Just Who is this Mary Kay Lady?

I've always considered myself to not be one of those "hair and nails" girls who are constantly obsessed with makeup and lookin...
