...Slut?
...Whore?
...Floozy?
...Healthy Human Being?
This cartoon (below) reminded me of our conversation we had about the use of "slut" and how it is often used to demonize female sexuality. In this cartoon, it is implied that the reporter is suggesting that the woman who uses birth control, thus a sexually active woman, will be seen as something negative by society. However, I found it curious how the female depicted turns the situation around and states that she is ok with her sexuality and ok with using birth control since it means she is a healthy human being, not a slut, whore, or floozy.
