"Sugar Daddy" - Hedwig and the Angry Inch
  Every highschool has a slut. Every highschool has a stinking, powder-faced, devil-lipped, PVC-skirted slut. She's foul-mouthed. She'll swear at you if she catches you staring: "What you fucking pussy? You want a piece of me? Well you can't afford the goods I've gotta offer."

The boys jeer at her: "How much for a blow?" They know exactly how much it is for a blow. "What you doin' tonight, slut?" Probably your mother under the back porchlight. "I've got a job for you right here." You've just got your allowance, of course you do.

Did you make fun of her? Did you whisper behind her back after she got her abortion? Did you talk about her excitedly after she got into a fight with some guy's girlfriend?

Were you friends with her? I wasn't.

Did you understand her? I didn't.

But then, what's a date but a dinner and a movie, with the guy paying? And what's he paying for? A dinner and a movie? Or a ticket to your pants?

And didn't you laugh along and bat your eyelashes at him? Pulled up your skirt just a little? Touched his knee just a bit--to let him know you're there?

And wasn't it just sweet and fun the way he took care of you--holding open the doors, kissing you on the cheek, holding your hand, wrapping his arms around you? Didn't it make you feel loved? Or is it powerful?

And don't you just cravecravecravecrave that power?

So. Really. Who's the slut?

  Is this the site of the next Oprah? Way to liberate women... Now, as a man, I feel like shit...

  I never thought about it like that... well, I've never been on a date so I don't really think about it at all... And I don't even think I have a slut in my school, and if I do, then I don't know about her. Maybe she's like a secret slut that lurks in the shadows....

  Love is whoring yourself for power.

  wanting that power does not make one a slut. it's acting on that desire that makes one a slut.

  Honestly, I can't say I've been in either situation... but what a different perspective on things!

Interesting.

Sure, when I see a sluttily-clad girl walking down the street, I’ll look at her for a second and think she’s just a piece of trash, desperate for some attention…

But hey aren’t we all in our own little way?

Granted, some women are a bit drastic in the way they go about it.

I think the people we should be blaming are the guys that force us to make us feel that if we aren’t walking sex on sticks we are worthless.

And why do we care so much what a man thinks of us? Continuing from my own post, if we really want to liberate ourselves, we need to break free from our own contradiction of thinking…

Your post gives an entirely different definition to the word slut.

I guess in a way we are prisoners of our own ideologies.
