Something rubs me the wrong way about this. Here's why:
SLUT is a patriarchal term used to shame women's sexual behavior and control their sexual life. We can agree on this. (What is very weird to me is how easy women embraced slut-shaming each other as well, perpetuating a system that hurts them the most..)
So when you use "slut" in your name you kind of take back control over the word and use it as a weapon.
But when you say "I'm the pickiest slut" it sounds to me like you say that sluts are not normally picky ( again, shaming) and that "you are not like all the other non picky sluts". Which again, just perpetuates the whole concept.
I know it was just a joke, but wanted to mention this :)
Ah, that's the beauty of language and perception. Had I said "pickiest lady", it wouldn't rub anything wrong. But as soon as a define myself as a slut by my own standards, being picky AND a slut becomes a kind of oxymoron to anyone still perceiving slut as a derogatory term.
I've explained this a bunch of times, but to me being a techslut means that I am a sucker for tech stuff and innovation turns me on. In sexual terms, I define sluttiness as healthy promiscuity without the fear of criticism. Yeah, I fuck. Yeah, I love it. I am a slut. A pink, picky, geeky, tricky slut. :)
Unfortunately we do not own the words meaning just by sheer will. SLUT is mostly derogatory unless used playful "you SLUT!" between friends.
" a picky lady" has different implications :)
I salut your slut definition. I guess that makes me one too :D
I said it.
I meant it.
I'm here to represent it. ( not sure If I'm doing it right!)
