Etymology

The term 'slut' originates from the Old English word 'slวฃtta', which referred to a promiscuous woman. The usage of the word has evolved significantly over the centuries. In the 15th century, it was used more generally to describe a dirty or untidy person, regardless of gender. However, it became predominantly associated with women and sexual promiscuity. The feminist movement has highlighted the negative implications of the term, advocating for a re-examination of sexual labels and the stigma attached to womenโ€™s sexual behavior. In recent years, there has been a push against the use of the word as a tool of misogyny, with campaigns such as 'slutwalks' aiming to reclaim the term and challenge societal norms around female sexuality.
