Let it be known that I am a slut.

I am the one who dares to touch those that I feel attraction to.

I am the one who explores her urges as if they are natural instincts that are given to us as human beings (just as it should be)

As if they don’t effect anyone but myself and a consenting partner!

I am the one who dared to physically pleasure a boy I was devoted to on my own accord

A boy who held me close as we touched and felt the beautiful magic that was each-others’ flesh and being without shame.

All the while part of me blessing the fact that this still meant I was still technically a “virgin”, a word I’ve grown to despise.

Because I was the one thanking god that when we broke up that he was a kind and strong enough man not to say what we’ve done, despite his anger and sadness.

Despite knowing that his testimony could only make him a hero and leave me a tarnished reputation if it got out to those who had no business knowing it at all.

I was the one in fear of it getting out, up until the moment we reconciled as friends only ever talking about it when I’d bring it up, still secretly in fear that he told a soul.

But a lot of the world doesn’t care about this fear .

This fear of losing a game that’s rules were made to help 50% of it’s players.

Made by those who were afraid that they’d lose control of women if they were to wake up one day and learn that their bodies were meant to be more than their pawns.

Rules made by those who set impossible standards: wanting women to be pure sweet,virgins and men to have sex as if it were the contest it has now become.

Everyone who plays the game trying to grab the most “points” by getting as much sex as possible.

Going as far as to steal another human’s life and being though the holes in their body But that doesn’t matter to many .

Because it’s just “boys being boys” in a culture that takes sex-depraved, starved animals and lies to the rest of the world that they are men!

But still in the worlds eyes those “men” are still worth more than the women, men, girls and boys who’s bodies were taken in silent screams when nobody could or chose to stop them !

Saying they were asking for it as if anybody would ask for the shame of being considered a slut or a tragedy case!

As if anybody would ask for being unwed and having a child in school, praying to a god that let them down to never let it happen again, apologizing to them as if it’s their fault!

As if anybody would want to lose faith in humanity only to gain scorn from strangers and people they might have once trusted, all for something they couldn’t prevent !

As if anyone would like to possibly experience PTSD when a look on the street was misconstrued to mean something of sinister origins or a casual comment left a string of painful words ringing in their ears!

As if a woman in that position would beg to be left to the wolves all barking the familiar, degrading, venom laced calls of “slut” and “whore”!

As if anyone would WANT to fear the world they once loved every time they left their home !

As if anybody would want to feel like less of a person than they already do in this cesspool of inequality...

But those lies are taught because it’s all about the men, huh?

Well tell that the boys and men who have been given the same fate only to be told things like “Consider your self lucky, I wish I could get laid”and “Women can’t rape guys, suck it up man” .

But with those men and boys,would you dare call them sluts?.

No you wouldn’t...

Because they are expected to hold this behavior to take sexual activity by the horns and go and get it despite the fact that sex should be as much an option for men as it should be for women.

But women don’t have a choice.

Because a woman who denies as man sex is considered a bitch or is just playing hard to get as if they should feel honored that a man wants to grace their bodies with their genitals!

That women are dubbed “friend-zoners” because they deny them dates when they simply don’t want to string them along, the way that they will be claimed to have done when they tell them they aren’t interested!

As if being just friends with a woman is some kind of plight on your manhood.

Well I’ll tell you what buddy you didn’t love her anyway because the moment she goes out with someone else you’ll call her a “cock-tease” or “stupid slut”.

And there is that label again….

Slut a word that means so many things when applied to a woman: unfaithful, sexual, uninterested…

But honestly if a word holds so much meaning to many women yet can be tossed around by men and spiteful women like toothpicks,why does it hold meaning in the first place?

How can we let it hold meaning?

A word made by those to describe women who aren’t afraid to let themselves live without a “man”’s expectations of them in negative light.

But because I do not fear to live without a “man”’s expectations so let it be known that I am a “slut”!
