This is a somewhat ridiculous thing to rant about.
I use the word slut and/or whore to describe someone who leads someone on, possibly in order to get sex, and then later hurts them, or someone who is a frequent cheater.
When I see someone use them to describe a women who has frequent sex, I cringe. That never made sense to me when I was a preteen first getting a handle on what these curse words actually meant so I guess I just made up my own meaning. As far as I can remember, the definition above is what I considered a 'slut' to be.
Now, it's causing a big problem in my vocabulary. I don't agree with slut-shaming, because I know that refers to a women having casual sex and using her body how she pleases. However, I don't agree with being a 'slut' as I always saw it, which is apparently not what it really is.
So I have to either keep adding in what I mean anytime I say the word so I can be sure the world knows I am pro-free sex life, or I can come up with a new word.
