HW 17 "More than friendly"

Cruising around Jezebel.com i ran into several interesting articles as I knew I would. Gossip, women's experiences and celebrity antics are abundant on this page. I picked an article that jumped out at me; actually I'm sure it would be hard to miss. The article is called "Sluts: They're Not Whores, They're Just Friendly! The link reads, http://jezebel.com/gossip/sexplanation/sluts-theyre-not-whores-theyre-just-friendly-308648.php. With a title such as that i could hardly keep myself from investigating further. The article went on to say that perhaps promiscuous people do not deserve their bad labels. Suggesting that instead of it being a bad thing to sleep around, that people do it because they are warm and friendly individuals. It actually states a line saying that there are two types of promiscuous people, warm and friendly people and cold and distant people. Cold and distant people are people that have sex with no regards for the feelings of others. Which i think is oft the case. However, it is fun to think that maybe instead of labeling the word slut with a negative connotation, you could put a positive spin on it. For instance, instead of saying "what a slut, she is shaming herself." You could say, "what a slut, i wish i was as giving as she was!" Not likely to happen anytime soon, but hey i would like to look at it from the optimistic side from now on
