Seems to me

That the only place I run across this term is in the OP's material.

So you never saw the term or heard the term being used.

It just seems like someone is worrying about a pair of dirty socks


I used to think that way too, Squinch, that if I just stopped thinking about stuff that it wouldn't matter, or if I just kept quiet when someone was charging up the wrong hill that it would all turn out right, or if I could just convince myself that it didn't bother me that I would feel just fine.

But then I read about Rosa Parks. I realized that when there are issues of civil rights and equality, that the stands we take have to be ones that make sense at the time to a large number of people on both sides of an issue.

That's when I realized that the civil rights movement would have made zero progress if, in 1955, Ms. Parks had started insisting people stop using the n-word, rather than taking a stand about the inequality of where a human being could sit based on their color.

It just seems like, with the fretting over the term "slut shaming", that someone is worrying about a pair of dirty socks while the house is burning down.

Calling out the language police at this juncture makes a mockery of the fight for gender equality.

see here you are saying that this is so minor and feminist should focus on only larger issues. Got news for you, women can multi task. IOW women can "fret" about the small stuff and the big stuff at the same time.

Let me put it to you this way. All of this slop goes into a trough. Sure some of it fills the trough up faster than other slop. However the pigs are there on the Q for their feeding frenzy. keeping the trough from getting full, from ALL angles.
