It is story time chicos and chicas, gather round!
HOMECOMING IS UPON US! It is in the air, the internet and it might even interrupt your lunch for a minute or two with its "WILL YOU GO TO HOCO?" posters.
I have a friend, whom we'll call Ali for reasons, K? Well, Ali is attending homecoming. And one day she posed a question, she asked me if I thought [description on nice dress that sounds cute] seemed "slutty".
I'm going to pause for a second to say that this question was problematic and because of my opinion of the word no matter what she said I would have said it sounded "beautiful and you should go for it".
Ali seemed concerned by this "but what if people think its too revealing?" she was afraid of judgement from others. This concerned me, hadn't she read my previous blog post about this exact thing? Was she not enlightened by my wisdom? No. Mostly because this thing is something no one I know personally knows about, and also because I seldom express my opinions on such things.
That day, however, I expressed.
"Slutty? What does that even mean, Ali? The only opinion that matters is your own. If it makes you feel good then that's what matters. Not the opinions of people who do not matter! Wear the dress!"
So I implore all of you to wear the dress! Go to the dance! It is as cheesy and awkward as it seems on TV but it is also a wonderful memory! I went last year and I am still cringing and smiling about the whole thing!
What did we learn today girls and boys?
'Slutty' is a word we ought not use and go to the dance even if no one asks you?
Exactly!
