And now I have to run sort of a retraction and correction. Sort of.
About two months ago I defended calling women and girls who participate in sex with multiple partners whom they do not know as sluts for voluntarily allowing themselves to be exploited by men. The blog post was prompted by an incident in Florida where one woman reportedly fucked 25 guys in a boys' high school bathroom; some of these pleasured men recorded the sex act, and that is how authorities discovered this.
Well, there is more to the story. The woman getting gangbanged is, allegedly, a sex trafficking survivor. She had been sexually abused so often in her formative years that she does not know how to properly respond when the boy she had a crush on told her she wanted to have sex with her. So that's how that happened.
Look, I brought up another incident where a girl at an Enimen concert in Ireland was going down on random men. On the presumption that she has not been similarly abused when she's young, I will still say that that young woman is old enough to know that she needs to protect her body from the libidos of irresponsible men. However, if the case in Florida is true, I totally absolve that young woman from being a slut. She was ruthlessly taken advantage of by a boy she was crushing on, and some sick boys made a bad situation more disgusting. This is not the girl's fault -- it's the boys', all of them, especially this supposed "boyfriend." So I take back slut-shaming her, and I apologize for calling her that.
