SOCIAL: THE MEANING OF, 'SLUT'

A “slut,” is a term connotated with negative meanings. It was a word used to denote an unkept women, traditionally. This word was used to degrade women and it can sometimes even refer to men. I digress however, as Amber Rose’s “slut walk,” has for me caused a certain empowerment for those being labeled this. This term has been essentially transformed from its negative roots to something a bit more positive. I really believe it is Amber Rose’s point of view that people should consider. This word for me stands for courage and strength. Those labelled with this word have gone through the tribulations of complicated interpersonal relations and they should wear this label as a badge of recognition. This is the true meaning of this word in this day an age. Funny how something which was previously negative has now been considered a sign of pride and strength. We should therefore encourage people’s passion to express themselves. This word to me means confidence and the ability to not care about what others think. This sort of personal power is priceless and I thus commend those with the fortitude to face their fears.
