That really, thought here is the best place to post this, as a query.
Came across a lot of posts on tumblr and Slut Shaming today , whilst some of it obvious, some of it less so.

What draws the line past pointing out obvious issues than can arrive of being promiscuous and Slut Shaming,

a) Sleeping around needs to be safe , risk your & other people Sexual Health,

B) Sleeping with attached people, if you are aware of the current existence of a partner IS wrong and you should be judged for it.

C) Although sexual assault is never a victims fault, v. young girls may not be able to cope with the response flirtatious behaviour can bring them, (if I articulated that right)

ETC , How much of that and other views people take as granted verge on Slut Shaming, I'm a bit confused.

bear in mind I'm a woman who grew up in a religious background so some stuff will perhaps not be as obvious to me, I'm aware there will be an iceberg affect to this.

It certainly is. I've tweeted it.

The Gift of Fear by Gavin de Becker has some quite good stuff on boundaries and recognising when someone is trying to disrespect yours. he also makes a good point at how behaviour that is frankly harassment is so often painted as romantic.

Buggered if I can remember where I heard it, but it's one that is worth passing on to young gentlemen about to set out into the world: "Consent sets the bar far too low. Hold out for enthusiasm."
