Slut-shaming; also known as slut-bashing, is the idea of shaming and/or attacking a woman or a girl for being sexual, having one or more sexual partners, acknowledging sexual feelings, and/or acting on sexual feelings. Furthermore, it’s “about the implication that if a woman has sex that traditional society disapproves of, she should feel guilty and inferior” (Alon Levy, Slut Shaming). It is damaging not only to the girls and women targeted, but to women in general an society as a whole. It should be noted that slut-shaming can occur even if the term “slut” itself is not used.

When it comes to how and to whom sexual slurs are applied, there has been and continues to be a clear sexual double standard — meaning “that there is one set of sexual rules for men and boys, and another, unequal one for women and girls” (Tanenbaum, p. xvii). In terms of slut-shaming, the “transitional double standard” (a term coined by sociologist Ira Reiss) applies: “men are allowed to engage in coitus for any reason–women only if in love or engaged” (Tanenbaum, p. 58).
