Amber Rose's Slut Walk has had many people talking about the ill's of slut shaming. Personally, I have different opinions about feminism and promiscuous behavior. I do not believe being hyper sexual makes someone a person to look up to or respect. The ideology that you should compete with the same sexual appetite of a man is flawed to say the least. We as woman should never try to compete with a man when it comes to sex. We as woman should respect our bodies and present ourselves in a sophisticated manner. A feminist would argue that your body has no price that your body isn't valued by how many sexual partners you have. I disagree, because no man wants a woman who's been with every man he knows. No son wants a mother who brings home different men all the time. This type of a woman is no role model for her daughter. Promiscuity makes a person vulnerable to STD's even with the use of condoms. American society is so over sexed they use it to sell burghers. We have had enough. What I did agree with Amber Rose is, is how easily and unfairly we deem a girl or woman a slut. We will hear of one incident that may or may not have happened and label a female promiscuous for life. She will be bullied, whispered about, while the man who was mentioned is giving a pat on the back. Amber Rose mentioned a game of Seven Minutes in Heaven that went awry and had her bullied and slut shamed in school for months after. Sadly, according to her ignorance of the male teen's demand to get on her knees costed her a ruined reputation. This I can sympathize with because being humiliated in school is the worst feeling because we have to go to school 5 days out of the week and no one wants to feel embarrased for these 5 days. We shouldn't have this extreme expectations for women while men have none. I think women should still act like ladies. Amber Rose's constant display of her butt and breast is not taking the word back or fighting slut shaming. She is simply displaying herself as something to be objectified and devalued. By advertising yourself like that you actually putting a price on yourself. Your making the statement your only worth being seen when your dressed sexy. Amber Rose seeks attention for her body not her mind. I don't think she should be the face of slut shaming because she is not a role model for young girls. I would never want my young female relatives dress or act like her. We need to send the message that a woman can have relations but never get judged for doing so with a few men but can't expect respect if they have no respect for themselves.

Lo que dice Amber Rose sería el sueño de nosotros los hombres, sin embargo también debo reconocer que no me gustaría tener una novia a la que todos los hombres le han hecho el amor.

Dear SS lincoln, As I said, I think Amber Rose is misguided in her attire but, different cultures have different dress codes and irregardless of dress a person is not a 'slut' because of the way she dresses. Unfortunately,dress, not behaviour is often the impetus for this type of sexist comment. Ideally, all women should respect themselves, and wear clothing that meet the norms of their culture but, if for example a person wears a modest mini skirt in summer, instead of shorts to a beach, park or a tennis court does that mean they are a 'slut' or that they are 'asking for it'? If a woman wears athletic attire to go jogging such as a tank top & leggings, apparently ,according to a panel of men on Fox news, they are dressed too sexily. Yet, most male and female athletes wear this apparel daily in practice, to gymns and at the Olympics and neither the women or men are frowned on or called provacative, too sexy or 'sluts'.

I commend Amber Rose for her initiative to raise awareness about the double standard that exists for girls and women. I may not agree that her decision to dress provacatively is sending the right message and may be misguided but, she is getting people to notice and say this double standard is unacceptable and no women should be subject to this type of bullying behaviour, no matter how they dress. I think sex before marriage is unwise and promiscuous sex is dangerous and often comes from a low sense of self worth. But, Comments are closed.
