In Slut!, Swift addresses her encounters with slut-shaming – behaviour that shames women who are judged to be promiscuous.

Key Points: 
  • In Slut!, Swift addresses her encounters with slut-shaming – behaviour that shames women who are judged to be promiscuous.
  • Dictionaries of the age marked women who accidentally exposed their breasts in public (“sported blubber”) as well sexually experienced women (“mort wap-apaces”) and “beastly, sluttish women” (“fusty luggs”).
  • But it also showcases the long history of women fighting back.
  • Like these women who went before her, Swift, too, has successfully rewritten her public persona by openly challenging sexist social attitudes in her work.
