Slut-shaming[edit]
Slut-shaming is "also known as slut-bashing, is the idea of shaming and/or attacking a woman or a girl for being sexual, having one or more sexual partners, acknowledging sexual feelings, and/or acting on sexual feelings" ( FinallyFeminism101). It is an insult to woman when they are being disclosed as anything overly sexual, with the exception of being married, where being sexual is accepted. Some examples which may cause one to be slut-shamed will include: dressing, having casual coitus, rape ( which ties in with victim blaming).
Victim blaming[edit]
Victim blaming is when the victims of sexual assault are held fractionally responsible for the crime which happened to them. "Most studies show that men hold the victim more responsible for her own victimization than women" (Ferrão, Maria Clara, and Gabriela Gonçalves). A woman can be blamed for being a victim of rape due to many perceptions such as clothing, where a woman's clothing insinuates the the rape due to her clothing being deemed as "asking for it".
The woman's respectability, resistance, and attractiveness and impacted victim blaming (Hayes R, Lorenz K, Bell K.[1]). In the respect to rape, victim blaming is used in a sense to blame the woman for not acting as deemed acceptable, therefore she deserves the fate of being raped. The belief in a victim taking partial blame in the crime due to their lack of conservative traits. Which concluded that anything deemed less conservative to the perpetrator is an open door to rape. Where the predator, being the one who committed the crime will not be held accountable (Ferrão, M. C., & Gonçalves, G. (2015)[2].
