I am a (male) maths teacher, and have been for many many years.
I am now worried about an acronym I use to help my students remember how to draw a certain type of diagram correctly.
It should comprise:
Scale: So that you can read the numbers
Label: So you know what is being measured
Units: On both axis
Title: Every diagram need a title to be complete.
Every year this has been greeted with hilarity by all my students, and I am sure it has helped many of them feel confident that they have covered all the points that will be marked. It is not something that they forget.
Of course, I make no reference to the 'meaning' of slut in other contexts, and I would challenge any student who took that opportunity
I think I know what the responses are going to be. But it just doesn't feel that outrageous in the classroom. Everyone laughs, and the lesson carries on.
(I haven't NC, so you can check if you think I have a history of sexism or misogyny.)
Feminism: Sex & gender discussions
S.L.U.T (have I been wrong for so many years)
