I think OP got caught by the element of surprise. She could have easily flipped out and beat the crap out of the person (if you did I don't think anyone would blame ya OP!) kudos for turning the other cheek!

talk about seeing the cup as half full.

Always look on the bright side of life *whistle*

Possibly it was the way OP was dressed? Women's clothes usually are far more revealing than men's, whether they are aware of it or not. Maybe OP's blouse was hanging low showing some serious cleavage and she wasn't aware of it.

And why, exactly, does that warrant OP being called a derogatory name?

#13 - As tempting as it can be, no matter what someone says to you, if you respond physically you're taking it to the next level and most certainly will be blamed for it legally. If someone says something nasty, by all means say something back but don't be an idiot and get yourself in legal trouble.

And that warrants being called a slut? You sure never hear it when men go around topless or with those really low V's and U's tops.

I don't know why everyone is jumping down 54's throat. He just said her clothing might be reason someone would call her a slut, not that it was justifiable. Geez.

#54 I accidentally thumbed up your comment and I want you to know I deeply regret it. People with your line of thinking are exactly why only 20% of rapes are ever reported and less than 2% make it to trial.

God you people are quick to judge. I didn't say it was perfectly justifiable. What I am saying is that if her clothes are more revealing (whether intentional or not) might give someone enough reason to say something like that. Does that mean they should? Fuck no. And #72, where the hell does rape factor into this? In no way did a mention anything about rape.

I was thinking "hmm so if she's getting some, does it make it acceptable for her to be called a sloot (sic)" except of course if it is more than one partner. It's not a flattering word, OP, EVER!

But what if the someone gets off to being called it

OP used it once...

nope, OP used it 3 times, it was edited by moderators i think.

How would you even use it three times in this

It went like this: Today, I got called a slut. I don't know what is worse, the fact I was called it or the fact that I felt strangely flattered by the fact that the person thought I was getting any. FML

just like some people use 'actually'. saw it first hand at ANTM.

Why the fact did you use this term so often OP?

Apparently the term "slut" was originally used to describe someone who had a messy or dirty bedroom. The more you know.

I remember some comedian saying a slut is some girl who would sleep with everyone in the room. a bitch is a girl who would sleep with everyone in the room except you.

*whiiiine* she'll sleep with anyone except meeeee! Its not faaaaiiiiiir. If she's loose how dare she not want to fuck ME! I DESERVE sex if she's a slut anyways!!! Life is so UNFAIR and she's a total BITCH.

^^^ the premise of Elliot Rodger's video memoirs.

But apparently you don't get some.
