I wasn't shaming her. She can be whoever she chooses to be. I like her as a person. She's lovely.

But she's a slut. Nothing wrong with that.

The word slut is derogatory so by default you are shaming her just be using it

I'm being honest. She said she has a number of sexual partners without commitment. That is the definition of a slut.

It is an offensive word, but It's who she is, and I have no problem with that. So I'm not shaming her. I wasn't looking down on her.

It's like how Helen was a prostitute, last summer. That's often used as a derogatory term. But calling Helen one, isn't because she was one.
Same thing with Jade.

Well it's not really, the word Prostitute is actually the proper term for that particular profession, calling her a ***** would have been fifty times worse, don't you think? and the reason for that is it's a slang, derogatory word.

For me there's a massive difference between saying someone is promiscuous and saying someone is a slut. Slut implies someone is nasty and unclean as well

The definition of promiscuity
Having casual sexual relations frequently with different partners, without commitment.

The definition of slut
A woman who has many casual sexual partners.

On Google define, it says the synonym of a slut is a promiscuous woman.

You say the word slut implies dirty and nasty. Yes, implies. But it doesn't mean that by definition. That's just the stigma attached to the word, which I didn't mean.

also, you may not have meant it that way but just using the word reinforces the stigma imo

That's the old definition of the word, which doesn't relate to sexual partners.
Hence, why the definition says dated.

Unless, were living in 1953, I don't see why that would mean that.
