It seems like the kind of conversation we needn’t still be having in 2017 and yet, here we are.
Last night, on prime time television, a man called a woman a “slut”. On a reality cooking show, no less.
Josh Meeuwissen, the undisputed villain of the latest season of My Kitchen Rules, dropped the word at the dinner table, referring — apparently jokingly — to his fellow competitor Amy Murr.
She wasn’t impressed. In fact, she was visibly upset by the word, as were the several stony-faced women who stared down Broome’s self-appointed “Seafood King” as he chortled into his entree.

me and my best friend call each other slut constantly...and bitch and skank and sometimes pumpkin tits. We see it as a term of endearment. Maybe this is because we are two sassy homosexuals who are admittedly a bit "slutty". Once he called me a whore which offended me...because I consider myself more of a courtesan (whores need to advertise and honey, I don't need to advertise. I'm strictly word of mouth!).
BUT....that's just between the two of us....I'd never even dream of calling someone else a slut or anything like that unless I know they were in on the joke. Calling someone you barely know a slut is just rude and people should rightly call you out on it!!!
Yeah well then maybe you should come up with a new term other than "slut shaming".
