SlutBox by Amber Rose – May 2018 Spoiler #1

What an excellent idea!

AMEN. Well said💞

Meredith,
Yours is the first dissenting opinion I’ve read that I have respect for. Not because I agree with you but because you laid out your reasoning effectively without disrespecting others. You empathized with the “other side” but still explained why this box isn’t for you.

I think you showed everyone how it’s possible to disagree and still respect others with a differing opinion.

I subbed to this box and I fully support the message behind it. I find the name to be fitting to the cause and to the contents. But I have nothing but respect for your opinion.

Completely agree! Not even remotely interested –

Agreed

I totally agree . I also think that women who have a different opinion should stop being made to feel like they need to stop putting other women down when they are simply stating their dislike for something they find trashy or distasteful. It has nothing to do with putting other “women” down. Holla Felecia 😉😘✌

I’m with you. Good news is we don’t have to spend our $ on this 🤗

The point of the box is to get the word out about slut shaming. That is why it’s called slutbox! Women need to stop being so judgemental towards other women!

Wow. You just slut-shamed SlutBox. Therin lies the problem. Way to prove Amber Rose exactly right, tho.

Lighten up, Francis.

Seriously? If you don’t like the name, then don’t subscribe or sign up for updates. That’s easy, IMO! Duh!

Omg really. Don’t subscribe to it then. I think it seems like a fun box.

No, you’re not old at all. Even we enthusiasts have hated that word. And that’s because it’s meaning has been used to convey shame and humiliation. The word has always been derogatory and demeaning. And as such, it holds too much power over women. THAT’S the reason the box has this name. To take the power it holds out of the equation. This box, and the cause associated with it, is to change the connotation of the word.

It’s to say to every person that just because I wear a short skirt or sleep with whomever I want or express my sexuality as I see fit, you don’t get to judge me. It’s my body and my life. Your silly little “slut” word means absolutely nothing. The double standard is dead. And calling me names says more about you than it does about me. The word has no more power and as such, you don’t get to shame me anymore.

As for those who say not liking the word, or the name of the box, is about having self-respect…well, quite simply, that’s the complete opposite of it’s actual significance. To say that the “slut-shaming” needs to be stopped is actually about taking back our self-respect. Changing the connotation of the word slut is about taking back our self-respect. And standing up and saying that the word no longer has any power over me is about taking back our self-respect.

I hope this makes some sort of sense. I understand that we are all different and no one person’s opinion is more important than another’s. But even for those who simply can’t come around to the “enthusiasts” way of thinking, I truly hope they can understand the rational behind it.

BTW, I submitted a response earlier to you but it’s apparently under review for some reason and hasn’t posted yet. So when you get 2 different responses from, that’s why 🙂

Not an age issue at all, but rather one of self respect!!

Actually, you’re not old. You feel like most women feel. Even we enthusiasts have hated that word. And that’s because it’s meant to be derogatory and demeaning. It’s meant to shame us and make us feel bad. It’s meant to insult us and embarrass us. And therein lies the reason for the name of the box. To give us our power back. To give us our self-esteem back. It’s to take away the power of that word and remove the shame it has caused.

Yes! These are not for my 45y/o, nursed 3 kids a total of 7.5 years breasts. They’ll go to my 19y/o, just like the ones from Ricky’s.

I told my husband the same thing LOL! I was like hey I ordered a new subscription that can help us spice things up… but the first reveal is a set of pasty stickers and those are going to be aimed at the floor if I put them on. 😂

That’s exactly what this box is about! Women should be able to dress how they want, be vocal about their sexuality, sleep with who they want and not be labeled a slut! It is time to take back that word and the power behind it! No more Slut Shaming!

My daughter went through the same thing…. I even had to change her school. We are all different, some of us like sex more than others and some of us LOVE sex but are more reserved about it. I grew up in a quiet, calm, catholic going home. I even went to catholic school for 8 years…. I am very reserved. My husband on the other hand, outgoing, loud and very “sexual”. Our relationship gets difficult sometimes… So, when I saw the SlutBox, i bought a 3 month sub immediately…. I’m hoping this helps out our relationship. There is nothing wrong with being a “slut”.

Thank you for your post. You totally turned my perspective around on this box…at first blush I kind of cringed at the thought of wearing a pastie with the words “slut” all over it but then I read your post and you are SO right! There is such a double standard. Women should be proud to own their sexuality and I know that’s exactly what Amber Rose champions as well. Thank you for waking me out of my overly programmed initial reaction to see the true point of this box!

On a side note, I always marveled how so many young men encourage women to be sexual, then in their next breath criticize those who are. It seems to be a pretty moronic strategy on the part of the guys. I think they’d achieve their sexual “goals” much quicker if they avoided the nasty labels and instead embraced and appreciated female sexuality.

I agree, that would be awesome. I’d have to keep myself from smirking all day. But I think it would be empowering, and I know that’s a lot of what Amber Rose is about.

If I knew for sure that the word Slut would be visible on the outside of the box I would order one and wait for the mailman. Just to see th look on his face when he handed me that box. I get bored. Also the pasties are good for backless shirts.

At least you know the box is sticking to it’s theme (unlike the Cosmo box).

They might be saving the best for last…. Makes it more exciting. 🤗
