and name calling is name calling regardless of your so called intentions. why not sit a woman down, determine her reasoning for doing what she is doing in a mutually respectful situation? that would go alot further than just throwing out something that in today's day and age has negative connotations associated with it.
and again, why is being a slut less honorable? simply because society has deemed that women with multiple partners are less honorable than those that have one? what about a man? is he less honorable because he has multiple partners?
if a woman is being a slut. then you could sit her down and give her the definition, but its a little easier to just say it. and to the point. she'll understand your view better. and the situation better. you don't give out the definition, you give out the word. like switch "word" in that last sentence with its definition, whihc sounds better?. and you woman man honor thing, guys are usually praised for getting a lot of "it" so he gets more "honor" in his community - think achilles , by being aggresive, dominant, and strong. however the female achieves less honor cause she isn't sticking up for herself, being strong to herself, and proud of herself, but instead sleeping around like a litlte whore.
