I’m not sure what kind of crowd you socialize in, but you’re making the mistake of thinking that most women are sympathetic to sluts.
A lot of women are not sympathetic to sluts. Most women are sympathetic to women who are called sluts.
Fluke did not say she was using contraception. She did not say she was having sex. She did not say she was having a lot of sex. She did not say she had a lot of sexual partners. What she said was that women at Georgetown should have the university insurance pay for their contraception if they want it. (I strongly disagree with her.) She appointed herself an advocate for these women and said NOTHING about her own life.
Fluke may be celibate. She might be engaged and faithful to her fiance. She might be a lesbian. She might be secretly married. She might be unfortunately typical of many young women with several different partners a year. She might be wildly promiscuous. We don’t know. Rush didn’t know.
Calling her a slut is unwarranted. Calling her a prostitute was out of line. It was not just wrong. It was stupid.
