Why can't it be different things to different people?
Maybe it can but the fact is that the majority of women turn into sluts only after the emotional shock/damage of a relationship breakup. Which is a response to a 'traumatic event' rather than something innate in them.
No, that's what
you decided after the second or third paragraph.
"Last summer, I suffered the breakup of a relationship that I had thought would be permanent...nothing ever broke me like this one. Since then, I’ve had sexual interactions of the orgasmic kind with 9 different people, none of which I was at any time in a committed relationship with."
That's not what I read her as saying at all. I read her say, more than once, that she
wanted to be doing what she was doing. And even if you were right about her promiscuity being a negative thing born of negative things, why would that necessarily be the same for all women?
That's what she said. I don't care how she tries to justify it in hindsight later on in the article. The fact is that her slutty behaviour was instigated by a bad breakup.
I know / have known plenty of happy and/or pretty and/or skinny (wtf does that have to do with it? oh that's right, a measure of a woman's worth is her waist size) and/or smart women who behave in a way that you would label slut.
Come again? Actually, don't. You are failing to comprehend my point.
People/women? Ah - there we have the truth peeking through. Women are not people in your strange little head. And that red flag will save an awful lot of women from having to find out the hard way what you are like.

Thing is, I don't have to even ask you if this same argument applies to male 'sluts' because I know, in your head, it doesn't. The argument goes that men are hard wired to be 'sluts' and it should not be held against them. Women are not hard wired that way and therefore if they behave that way they are 'broken'. That just doesn't hold for me. Plenty of our hard wired behaviours have been over-written by cultural restraints. A lot of the expected behaviour of women is a lot more about nurture than it is about nature anyway. These days women can be promiscuous without anymore repercussions than a man 'suffers' from doing same. So what is the difference?
Why would I care about male sluts? I'm not going to be having sex with or children with male sluts.
But since you asked, I don't approve of male sluts either.
All I am saying is that the vast majority of women turn into sluts after a bad breakup. Most women are not sluts, at least not until a bad breakup. And even then slutdom is not inevitable.
And the girls who are sluts from a young age just have a poor upbringing, low self esteem etc.
