This is going to be short and to the point. I am not going to use flowery language, "big" words or use metaphors. There is a huge discussion going on across the internet about what is being called "slut shaming." SS for short is basically shaming, calling out, looking down on, or talking shit about women who are considered "sluts." However slut is a subjective term, isn't it? Everyone of us comes from different backgrounds, so our opinion of what a slut is differs. For me, the main focus boils down to respect. The anti-slut shamers are saying that the problem here is the disrespect these women experience due to a long history of double standards. We shouldn't separate what men due and what women due in regards to sex. Some people disagree, and believe that women should be held more accountable for "promiscuous" behavior. Once again, promiscuous behavior is subjective. Uhhhh .....

A Female Attorney Defends a Peeping Tom's Right to Look Up a Female's Skirt, or How Women Really Don't Get Feminism
A news story out of Andover, Massachusetts states that a man prosecuted for taking up-skirt photos of female passengers on the train believes that it is his first amendment right to be a slimy pervert. Now, I know what you may be thinking, "Criminals will say anything to get away with their crimes." But this is much worse than just an asshat trying to rationalize his sexual deviance, this is about the FEMALE LAWYER that is representing him, and is following through with this excuse in a court of law.
The lawyer, Michelle Menken, states that "people cannot expect privacy" in public places, such as the train, and that the Massachusetts state 'Peeping Tom' law that they are using against her client only covers fully nude individuals, not clothed, or partially clothed individuals. She also stresses that in public places there is no expectation of privacy, such as what you would find in a department store dressing room, so the law does not apply. Lastly, she states that prosecuting people who take pictures of clothed people in public places would, "potentially punish artistic and journalistic activities protected by the first amendment."
................. Uh.
