Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

Oh my sweet summer child.
There's actually fairly few people who wouldn't blow someone for $230k given the opportunity. There are however very few people who have been paid $230k for a blow.
I have mad respect for someone who can secure that kind of money for someone everyone else does for free.
You can call her a slut if that makes you feel better about yourself but I suspect that you're really just envious of someone who is that desirable - I know I am.
My personal definition of "slut" is someone who has orgasms without guilt. Pretty sure Trump has never given another human being an orgasm (and if he did, it was an accident). Therefore, they were not sluts, at least in that particular instance.
What the fuck
The word should be reclaimed. See: The Ethical Slut
It’s OK guys he’s taking it back!
The traditional definition is a sex negative one. It should be either reclaimed or expunged altogether. Which would you prefer?
Oh either would be great, just like with many other nasty insulting words. I don’t think that will happen though.
Well OK, but you understand that most people have another definition for slut right?
Of course, that's why I was clear that this is my personal definition.
Personal definition == alternative facts
Obviously, nobody has ever tried to reclaim a word before. Certainly not among the queer community.
