I was with you until you used the words "whores" and "sluts" to describe women who's lifestyles you do not approve of. It is not your right to judge.

BEST SONG EVER

[Nic Carroll]

love this song

[Teena from BC]

My first time hearing this artist *Beautiful*!! imho.

btw there's alot more trash talk out there than this.

Actually, it's everyone's right to judge. Everyone who gave this song (or your comment) a thumbs-up has also committed an act of judging, albeit a positive one. Judging is how we know what's good or bad, right or wrong, and in this case ignorant or wise.

Disagreeing with a judgment is also judging it, which is our right. Calling women whores and sluts is merely a judgment from one (ignorant and hateful) perspective. Honor the right to judge; condemn the judgment.

[Alchenille]

I really appreciate the sentiment behind this comment, but I don't feel that slut-shaming's a good way to inspire teenage girls.

Laughing at CKDStrider. Men and women who , in reality, behave like Charlie Sheen on 2 1/2 Men ARE sluts and whores. Slut and whore behaviour seems to be the acceptable norm now but Hollywood calls them "Free spirited"
