Your "Pro-Slut" Problem—Not Ours, by Sigal Samuel

“Sigal Samuel seems to be pro-slut,” wrote Yisrael Medad after I published a column in support of Sarit Hashkes, the Israeli activist who decided to take off her shirt rather than yield to ultra-Orthodox attempts to drive her away from a public party.
For a moment, I stared at the word “slut” in mute shock. How could anyone fail to understand that to call Hashkes a slut now would be to reinscribe the very premise that had occasioned her actions in the first place? Then the moment passed, and I realized Medad’s comment—later elaborated on in The Jerusalem Post and on his personal blog—wasn’t really that surprising after all. In fact, it was typical of the responses feminists incur when they attempt to reappropriate a word, image or meme that’s being used against them.
