SO, ladies... how's it goin'? Let me pose this question: Why are we hatin' on ladies that are beautiful? So often I will be creeping on Instagram and I see, for example (and this whole article's example), Niykee Heaton posted a photo, and naturally I click on it (because I mean, come on, she's drop dead gorgeous).
But I scroll through some comments and girls are calling her a whore, slut, hoe, and other derogatory terms. Why? What has she done to you that makes you say that about her? Did her confidence offend you? Instead of looking at her as a slut, whore, etc., we should be looking UP to her. I mean, look at this girls confidence. I'm using her as an example because of how much hate she gets on the daily from people she does not even know. This just goes to show that girls are still tearing each other down because of their own insecurities. We are all perfect in our own ways, and we should be building each other up, not tearing each other down! Let's ask ourselves, "what makes a girl a slut?" TONS of people will say, "a girl who never wears clothes, a girl who hooks up with (insert number of guys/girls here)," but does that really make someone a whore? Is she getting paid to do these things with guys/girls? No. She is willingly doing it and to me, that doesn't make someone a whore.
Instead of looking at these girls and cutting them down and telling them that they are ruining their lives, we should just honestly let them be. There's no point in bringing someone down and calling them a whore/slut because they are doing things "you would never do." There are a lot of things you do that another person does not agree with either, but you're not being told "oh my gosh, you whore, you tie your shoes the wrong way." Let people live their lives.
We need to learn the difference between calling someone a whore because she is confident with her body, and someone who is actually maybe a whore. Like the example above, Niykee Heaton is one of the most confident people on the planet Earth. She is amazingly talented, genuine and if people took the time to hear what she has to offer, we would stop degrading her. So what if she likes to be naked? If it makes her happy, let her be! And if you don't like the girl in your class who gets with guys every now and again, SO WHAT?! It is NOT YOUR LIFE. People are going to do things you don't agree with, and that is life. Move on from it.
I promise everything will work out if you live your own life and stop worrying about other people's lives. Don't get so hung up on someone being with different guys and girls. Just because they do that, it does not make them a whore. They are not getting paid for it, and if they are, why does it bother you? Why let it get to you? It's not your life choice and if it makes them happy, then to each their own. It's time we stop slut-shaming people. We live in a growing and upcoming society and things are changing. Slut shaming is a thing of the past, and we are all deserving to live the kind of life we want to live. So the next time you go and think of calling someone a hoe, stop yourself and think, "why should I care?"
