Now this article might seem controversial or inappropriate to many, but it is something that needs to be discussed in today's society. I can honestly say I am not too big a feminist, although I have nothing against feminists or feminism. I do, however, find it rather stupid that girls are shamed (slut shaming) for sex while guys are applauded and praised for the same thing. Personally, I have my hand ready for a high five from any of my friends that tell me they got lucky over the weekend, whether they be male or female.

I am merely saying that if men are arguing women really are on the same level as them in modern society, then something as stupid as this should not be relevant. When I hear some guys having their "bro-talk" about how they "totally hit that!" I think, "hey good for you, bud." When I hear those same guys say "she is such a slut, like, there is something wrong with her" about the same girls they are bragging about, I think to myself, something is not right here. The fact that these boys are encouraged by society to sleep with as many girls as they possibly can in high school and college while girls are shamed for performing one sexual act seems completely backwards to me. I feel like girls should praised just the same as guys are for sex, or we should simply just accept that it is a part of life. Instead of inquiring whether or not someone is sexually active, we as a people can drop it and not put our noses where they do not belong. We should let people live their lives the way they want.

So, I will continue to high five my friends when they tell of their sexual conquest because good for them. If I hear a girl be called a slut because she has had sex in high school I will defend her as just a regular teenager. By the previous logic, would that not also make the guy she slept with a slut? Apparently not and that is what truly bugs me. I encourage everyone who reads this article to avoid slut shaming because it keeps a rift between the sexes, one that does not have to exist. When a guy gets lucky with a girl, the girl might also consider herself getting lucky. If we can agree that slut shaming is stupid and wrong, then we can become one step closer to regarding men and women on the same level.
