Clean living and popularity—It’s quite the aftershave, let me tell you. If I’m being honest, the fact that he even has to bend to talk to me is making me want to swoon a little. ...But just a little.","author":"Isobel Irons","tags":["contemporary","high-school","humor","new-adult-contemporary-romance","slut-shaming","teen-issues"],"id":68441,"author_id":"Isobel+Irons"},{"text":"I look at Kitty, who's braiding Chris's hair in microbraids. She's being extra quiet so we forget she's here and don't kick her out. 'I think that as long as you're ready and it's what you want to do and you're protecting yourself, then it's okay and you should do what you want to do.'Margot says, 'Society is far too caught up in shaming a woman for enjoying sex and applauding a man. I mean, all of the comments are about how Lara Jean is a slut, but nobody's saying anything about Peter, and he's right there with her. It's a ridiculous double standard.","author":"Jenny Han","tags":["double-standards","feminism","scandal","slut-shaming"],"id":73176,"author_id":"Jenny+Han"},{"text":"You can always evaluate a man's character by the way he speaks about his ex girlfriends and other women.

It never does. But nonetheless, there's not a girl who's more hopeful than a slut, more optimistic. She may give in but she doesn't give up.

Sluts are loud. We’re messy. We don’t behave. In fact, the original definition of “slut” meant “untidy woman.” But since we live in a world that relies on women to be tidy in all ways, to be quiet and obedient and agreeable and available (but never aggressive), those of us who color outside of the lines get called sluts.

Then again, she's been acting out big-time. Fraternizing with that Spencer girl.' I closed my eyes to stop the room from spinning. What would have ever made me think that teachers wouldn't hear about this, too? After all, it was all over the school. Another teacher agreed.
