Q:Also, on another note. Ale is amazing and I love her opinion in this video. I understand that everyone has their own opinions, but I feel like Carlie was shamming ladies who choose to have sex with more than one person. Their opinions on whores and virginity's really bothered me.
Hello there and thanks for contacting us!
To get right down to it, slut-shaming and victim-blaming is never ok. It dehumanizes the person on the receiving end, and can be damaging to that person (or group of people) emotionally/psychologically.
The whore and virgin dichotomy is perpetually plaguing our society because women who “safe-guard” their virgin status are pure but prudes. On the other hand women who choose to have sex are sluts and disrespected, although they are pressured to engage in sexual acts in the first place.
It’s good that these topics concerning rape-culture bother and infuriate you! Hopefully with more education more people will not accept slut-shaming anymore – including Ms. Stylez.
Thanks,
The SlutWalk Seattle Team
