Houston radio station slams sororities

[DrPhil]

I think it goes without saying that not every woman, and sorority woman, is a slut.

The bigger point that some people will miss (because they will be too busy announcing that they are not a slut) is that they will lose listeners if they don't officially apologize. Perhaps they should lose listeners regardless.

Yes - I quoted the e-mail I received, but will now edit it.

I knew those weren't your words. I was moreso amused by the person who sent the email.

Regardless of whether being a female slut or male slut is a good thing or anyone's business, there are sluts and there are nonsluts--either self-professed or labeled as such. The slut part is less interesting than the overall tone and what the angry listeners are going to do about it. If the angry people were never loyal listeners in the first place (if you only know about this because you read about it as I did), this could be another instance of how any publicity can be good publicity.

Well, I think college students will have more pull than alumnae, although the point I made was that I would contact advertisers. As of yet it hasn't been picked up by any local media - just through word of mouth with alumnae groups.

Speaking of advertisers...I have personally dealt with the sales people at this very radio station, on behalf of one of my clients. You can bet that I will now think twice before purchasing any media with them, seeing as they have such misogynistic views toward women, who are THE target market for my clients (and most consumer brands these days).

It might be more effective to call up and tell them you ARE a slut (assuming it's true), that it's nothing to be ashamed of, and that one of the best things in the entire world is enjoying sex with men too attractive to be stuck on daytime talk radio.

Even though the Houston Slutwalk was a month ago, perhaps there needs to be Slutwalk 2.0 outside of the station?

1. Depending on the definition you use - for example, #3 in Merriam-Webster's is "saucy woman". I am saucy, but don't fit definitions #1 and 2, so I'd be lying.
2. I wrote as the president of my alumnae panhellenic - so there's that.
3. Gotta pick your battles - my hope is that perhaps they will decide using the word "slut" is simply too problematic.
