Slut Shaming, or How I Define "Slut" and "Promiscuous"

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 .....

THE WALKING DEAD SUCKS THIS SEASON! *RAGES*, or How I Don't Care About Your Pea Pods, Riiiick!

Season 4 of The Walking Dead was so anticipated due to the ensnaring excitement of Season 3, that many fans couldn't wait until premiere time. But after watching 6 episodes of the new season, I'm feeling a lot like this...

Yes, thank you Walking Dead writers, for figuratively spitting me in the face. This season is the slowest building, most boring, most repetitive in terms of storyline yet. It begins innocuously enough with a zombie flu that is spread all around the refugees of Woodbury through tainted water. Oh and Glenn also has it, but since we all know he isn't dropping dead and turning into a zombie anytime soon, it was just for suspense. Yeah, that was ultimately lost on me. Four episodes centered around the flu. It spread, killed people, they re-animated and a handful of the main cast exterminating them, while the other primary players mused about life and finding peace. Oh, and lots of boring conversations about farming, protecting each other, and staying strong. *vomits* Needless to say, I gave it a chance. I really love the characters and season 3 was so gripping that to see it descend into a mess such as this is really heart-breaking.

Watching The Walking Dead makes me feel how Glenn looks.

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.
