ORIGINAL: freedomdwarf1 quote:
ORIGINAL: BitaTruble Greta has great sex with a limited, select group of men. Well..good on her! That does not make her a slut and after being told that is unacceptable to her, continued use of the term in relation to her is, to me, cyber bully defined. From her post, she never replied. So she didn't tell the dude. Otherwise, I would agree. I was not talking about the man to whom she did not respond..I was talking about you. And I am referring specifically to a term that someone used when communicating with Greta that she herself posted here. Everyone, including you, are saying that it is universally offensive and never used any other way. I disagree when reading the definition of the word. Usually, yes. Universal, no. quote:
ORIGINAL: BitaTruble You continue to use the term after repeatedly being told that it is unacceptable. See above. I am showing one of the definitions of the word she is disowning - I'm not using it at her other than the reference to her post. quote:
ORIGINAL: BitaTruble You agree that behavior is cyber bullying. You are a cyber bully by your own admission. No, I didn't agree anything of the sort. You accused me of it. I denied it. quote:
ORIGINAL: BitaTruble quote:
And as I said before, the only qualifier is the number, What is the number? quote:
Urban myth. Cite? OED quote:
I agree, she is discerning. But that isn't a qualifier for the word in its strictest sense. Now you cite because according to the OED it is and I just happen to have the latest version here fairly close to my right elbow. Would you like the page number? My version is 2016 and not only is the word indisciminately used so is the word promiscuous which also is defined with the word indiscriminently. Would you like that page number as well? Would you like the page number for discerning? Do you have a better source than my hard copy Oxford English dictionary, long considered a reliable source on virtually every forum I have ever been on for the last 35 years? Ummm... let me see. A printed copy is already out of date before it even gets to print. So I use the online version - always kept up to date, sometimes to the minute. So technically, the online version is more recent and up-to-date; Ergo, more accurate. You want the OED? Oxford English Dictionary: A woman who has many casual sexual partners. Synonyms include: model, escort, masseuse. More? Cambridge Dictionary: slang disapproving a woman who has sexual relationships with a lot of men without any emotional involvement. Urban Dictionary: One who engages in sexual activity with a large number of persons, occasionally simultaneously. Also mentioned: Also refers to one who engages in sexual activity outside of a long-term relationship within the duration of said relationship. Wiki: Slut is a term for a woman or girl who is considered to have loose sexual morals or who is sexually promiscuous. It also goes on to state: With BDSM, polyamorous, and non-monogamous people, in usage taken from the book The Ethical Slut, the term has been used as an expression of choice to openly have multiple partners, and revel in that choice. We are on a kink site, Yes? So I take the kink definition - which is a perfect fit. As for that number that you're asking for? There isn't a definitive and exact number. You'll notice all of the definitions just say "many" or "a lot"; not an exact number. So the 'number' would be open to interpretation to the reader. You'll also note that there is not much else in the way of qualification for the word, just that there is more than one; no mention of selection or discernment. quote:
ORIGINAL: BitaTruble quote:
Providing legitimate cites to show she is disowning the meaning of the word is not being a cyber bully. You are what you have always appeared to be. My opinion of you has never changed..it has only been validated. Gretas sex life does not meet the OED definition of slut Umm... actually, it does, at least one of the definitions. And the Cambridge Dictionary, The Urban Dictionary, Wiki.... etc etc. quote:
ORIGINAL: BitaTruble but even if it did, she does not want to be referred to in that fashion. That is the fact. You admit to being a cyber bully. That is the fact. I admit nothing of the sort. You made the accusation, I absolutely denied it. So no, not a fact at all - just your failed assertion. I don't disagree that Greta has every right not to like the word. What I am arguing is that she can't disown the meaning of it just because she doesn't like it. And I referred to Greta's other post where this whole argument stems from. I am just pointing out that despite the fact that Greta dislikes and disowns the word, she does in fact fit one of the descriptions. Just as I replied to Ish - I just checked her post again. The guy clearly said he had a "conservative and committed" view on relationships and wouldn't marry a slut like her. He further went on to say "However, I do appreciate your honesty about your lifestyle. You'd probably be one hell of a great friend to hang with. But for me......you have too much dick history". So it shows he took a disapproving tone but I didn't read it as derogatory or offensive. To me, that is a very clear use of the word in its proper descriptive form (even in kink situations). She went on to disown that description. If the shoe fits etc etc; whether she likes the word is irrelevant, it's still a shoe that fits and the kink description contained in Wiki is a perfect match.
