Oh my sweet summer child.
There's actually fairly few people who wouldn't blow someone for $230k given the opportunity. There are however very few people who have been paid $230k for a blow.
I have mad respect for someone who can secure that kind of money for someone everyone else does for free.
You can call her a slut if that makes you feel better about yourself but I suspect that you're really just envious of someone who is that desirable - I know I am.
My personal definition of "slut" is someone who has orgasms without guilt. Pretty sure Trump has never given another human being an orgasm (and if he did, it was an accident). Therefore, they were not sluts, at least in that particular instance.
What the fuck
The word should be reclaimed. See: The Ethical Slut
It’s OK guys he’s taking it back!
The traditional definition is a sex negative one. It should be either reclaimed or expunged altogether. Which would you prefer?
Oh either would be great, just like with many other nasty insulting words. I don’t think that will happen though.
Well OK, but you understand that most people have another definition for slut right?
Of course, that's why I was clear that this is my personal definition.
Personal definition == alternative facts
Obviously, nobody has ever tried to reclaim a word before. Certainly not among the queer community.
