How to reply if you are called a slut or hoe

There is a double standard for women when it comes to sex. If a girl hooks up with a guy, she can be slut-shamed and called all kinds of terrible names, and if a guy hooks up with someone, he is rewarded with praise. The worst part of it all is women can be the worst offenders, turning and putting down other women.

I was like, ‘I’ve never even had sex, he didn’t put it in my butt! Then they wrote ‘Nicole’s a slut’ on the walls and made my life a living hell. I think that’s why I’m such a strong person today.” – Rolling Stone Magazine

    1. This one time on facebook this random dude called me a slut so i said, i think you have the wrong person better go check your mom… Oh and btw when you see her dont forget to mention if she has a headache her head was hiting the wall pretty hard last night when my dad was banging her from behind…;)shh i wont tell anyone except the whole internet.

    1. Love this one. Someone keeps calling me a hoe because an embarrassing photo of me got out to guys I don’t even know. I am having lots of trouble over it and I would really like something to say rather than “F U”
      .

      1. What you need to do is ingnore them what i had to do when I was bullied about how short I was people would say I was a slut because everyone thinks tiny people are the ones that think they have to be perfect all I did was block them on all social media’s and ignore them they went away.

  1. Hahahhaa thats funny cause i must pull more boys then you, the only thing you will be pulling is your undies up

  2. Mean girl: you are such a slut.
    Me: can you define the word slut?
    Mean girl: *list down meaning*
    Me: bitch, i said define the word slut. Not give me a description of yoursel.

  3. -You are a slut
    1-Is not being a “slut”, is just the normal attention guys give to girls…your point of view is so sad.
    2-The fact no one cares about you doesn’t makes everyone else sluts.
    3-You say “you are a slut” but all I can hear is “please someone look at me!”.
    4-Interesting…why do think your oppinion even matters?
    5-(over acting) OMG! some important person giving an opinion about me! (look at her) oh, ok, is only you.
    6-That’s what you need to do to feel good about yourself? Just sad.
    7-Awww you need to do that to grab my attention?
    😉

    1. Hmm, I mean you could say ‘at least I can get into a real relationship which is probably the opposite of your fake personality!’ And in some context’ o can make my phone battery last longer than your relationships…’

  4. I hear that a lot too.
    if ur sassy: “At least I’m not stupid enough to do anything with you” or “Aww, thanks, you too”
    or something more mature: “No, I’m really not, but thanks for caring… What makes you ask?”
    Clearly, he is trying to bother you, so don’t let it and he’ll go away.
    If it’s just one guy saying it, he’s probably jealous and trying to get your attention. Sometimes guys say mean things to someone they like, trust me

  5. You could say something nice to them, it would get on their nerves that you are not getting mad nor are they hurting your feelings and they would eventually stop. If you say something like that hurt my feelings apologize then they are going to continue doing it, but if you say something like you have the prettiest hair then they will get mad that you are not reacting the way they want you too and thus they would stop.
