Slut shaming
Slut shaming or slut-shaming is a neologism referring to a type of discrimination targeting individuals, specifically women, for sexual behavior deemed excessive. It can be used as a form of victim-blaming for sexual assault and harassment, and some feminists believe that this contributes to rape culture.
