There is no law stating that you have to buy your daughter reveling clothing. It’s especially unfair when parents buy these items for their daughters and then they turn around and make them feel bad for wanting to wear them More
There may not have been Twitter and Facebook when I was gangley tween, but there was a late 90s equivalent: AOL Instant Messenger. Long before online bullying was a standard parental talking point, myself and many other sixth graders were clacking away trying our hand at online flirting while also trading gossip. Such is the late 90s tween drama that is recovered from a 27-year-old’s very admirable project entitled “UnSlut.”
The infamous Swedish Instagram account that anonymously called for pictures of underage “sluts” is still being investigated. Following the rioting of girls who claimed to either recognize themselves — or in some cases their younger siblings — on the social media platform, authorities are pretty certain that they’ve sussed out who exactly hatched the slut-shaming idea.
We all want, no matter what race we are, to raise kids who are responsible and who have huge amounts of self-respect and who want to do great things in the world. No one ever holds their newborn daughter and says “Gee, one day I hope you grow up and put on a pair of skimpy panties and twerk on an Internet video.” More
“Ugh you guys have GOT to stop calling each other sluts and whores because it just makes it okay for guys to call you sluts and whores!” More
It’s just so lame. How can us parents who are trying to teach our kids about feminism and treating people with respect and that all people should be treated equal fight the good fight when newspapers can refer to women as sluts? The event was at a bar, for adults, and it didn’t even need to be reported in the newspaper with this slutty headline. If the Pinecone wants to hire me to come and explain feminism to them like I did to my school-aged children this weekend, I will be happy to. Maybe then they can understand why we don’t call women “sluts.” More

For the last few cases I’ve written about regarding girls and social media and suicide, it seems like the word “slut” has played a pretty big part. This to me is a huge warning sign that we need to talk to our kids about how damaging it is. More

Two grown adults proposition a 13-year-old girl for sex, sending illicit text messages to the teen’s phone. You would think that people would be disturbed by these criminals and their actions. Instead, internet commenters are wondering why the teen had a cell phone and if she was “receptive to the attention.” More
Well this is sad. You would think that if the week-long, 24-hours-a-day outrage over Rush Limbaugh‘s comments against Sandra Fluke taught us anything, it would be that dismissing a political opponent as a slut is outside the bounds of acceptable rhetoric. But that’s precisely what feminist site Jezebel has done with a young woman who has the gall — like half of all women — to be pro-life. More
In one of the cultures I’m in, large families are considered awesome. You’re not looked down on for being childless or having a smaller family – indeed, my folks only had three children – but large families are considered cool. But in the other culture I’m in – living in Washington, D.C. and enjoying various cultural offerings here – large families are mocked or derided. You only have 11 children if you’re retarded. More
At 92Y in New York City last night, a panel of prominent politico ladies such as Sandra Fluke, Amy Holmes, Nicolle Wallace, Stephanie Schriock and Christine Quinn chatted about the unique challenges women face when running for public office. Entitled “Running in Heels,” the discussion was moderated by Chelsea Clinton, who admitted first hand that she was not cognisant of how few women run for office until her own mother ran in 2008. But the “elephant in the room, ” according to Abby Huntsman Livingston, Jon Huntsman‘s daughter, was indeed the media — and more specifically how women and girls consistently get degraded for speaking up…just for being women and girls.
Quite fittingly, Sandra Fluke, the Georgetown student who found herself in the national spotlight after being called a “slut” by Rush Limbaugh, had a few choice observations on the topic. Many of which had to do with with being an example for young girls. More
