She’s unapologetic.
The entire tone of the latest series of The Bachelorette US could be described thus: judgey judge judge judge slut shame.
If it’s not the suitors themselves disagreeing with 30-year-old Kaitlyn Bristowe‘s decisions about her own sex life, it’s the viewers.
The show’s puritanical insistence that sex before a proposal is “controversial” is so old-fashioned as to be laughable, but that doesn’t stop viewers insisting that Bristowe’s behaviour (sleeping with a MAN, before MARRIAGE!) is degrading the moral fibre of society.
For some reason, the host of The Bachelorette, Chris Harrison had Bristowe sit on a stage in front of a studio audience while he read out some of the tweets and messages that have been directed at her.
“You’re the worst bachelorette ever in history,” he read. “You’re a little whore so shut your little whore mouth. Hashtag slut.”
Charming!
Another?
“You need to unspread you whore legs and shut your [bleeped] filthy diseased mouth and [bleeped] off.”

An email: “I hope that fans break her spirit so that kids can see that whoring behaviour isn’t rewarded.”

Did HE get in to the same amount of strife? Of course not! Double standards from the country who runs the global porn industry.
I have viewed this entire US season so far online. Loving it (one episode to go which screens next week)! She is a great bachelorette. Honest and fun and really has normalised typical relationship behaviour. A wonderful thing has been that many of the male contestants have been really accepting and supportive of it (as they should be!), putting the few dud guys to shame.
