Wanna Hook Up With a Girl? Don’t Slut-Shame
Obviously, a company called OnlineBootyCall is anti-slut-shaming. The thought of giving shit to someone for having a healthy casual sex life doesn’t make any sense to us! Usually, we see slut-shaming occur between women, because apparently some ladies are still stuck believing the old-fashioned idea that sex outside of a long-term relationship makes you less classy.
However, today we thought we’d talk about the super unfortunate habit of GUYS slut-shaming women. We’ve been seeing a lot of men on social media talking about how “skanky” and “ratchet” and “loose” all the “hoes” are, while at the same time lamenting that they can’t get laid. See the problem there?
According to a 2011 study, many women are totally down for casual sex, as long as the guy makes the experience pleasurable and she isn’t slut-shamed about it. Via UMich.Edu:
The stigma associated with engaging in casual sex for women also explains their reluctance to accept offers for casual sex; women are perceived more negatively than men for accepting casual sex.
“Gender differences are minimized when women feel that they can avoid being stigmatized for their behavior,” says Conley, who collaborated with U-M graduate students Amy Moors, Jes Matsick, Ali Ziegler and Brandon Valentine.
Basically, until men recognize that we all (including WOMEN) have sexual desires and that we shouldn’t shame OTHERS for theirs, we won’t reach our true booty call potential! Guys – stop calling girls sluts and whores – or you’ll never get laid. It’s pretty simple, no?
