here is a poem I wrote about something my grandfather said. if you pay attention to celebrity news, you'll know miley cyrus recently bleached her eyebrows. I jokingly asked my grandfather "do YOU know what happened to miley's eyebrows?" and he yelled at me "I DON'T CARE! SHE'S A SLUT!" and it really hurt me, as a woman, a miley fan, and as a feminist, because I know that she only does that showy stuff for attention and that she isn't really what he would call a slut.
I can feel the words
Like a slap in the face.
Such hatred and anger
Hatred for women
Angry at the one who wed you.
You call women you don't know sluts and whores
Like it's your place to judge
You don't know them and you don't care to.
Such mindless behavior that hurts me
It doesn't hurt them.
But don't you love me?
You taught me how to read
You taught me how to draw
But don't you love me?
Don't you love me enough not to hurt me with your words about them?

Nice poem I guess he must have seen Miley on the MTV Music Awards. I was pretty shocked myself, to say the least.

Sorry, Moon Raver - must have missed this before. I really like it - it's a really good point you make, that by slut shaming one woman you're slut shaming all women.
