There was a time when you knew who the bad girls were" someone close to me once said. Now you know who the good girls are."
And I hear that all three of them are beside themselves over todays state of affairs.
Lena Dunham: I Was Raped By a Campus Republican" the
headline reads introducing the Girls" stars story about an alleged sexual assault at the hands of a mustachioed" conservative undergrad while a student at Ohios Oberlin College nearly a decade ago. Its perhaps a fanciful story the kind you might expect to read in the
National Enquirer or
The Sun right after I Was Impregnated by a Space Alien" and Loch Ness Monster Found Living in Central Park Lake." I mean really are we supposed to believe this?
That there was a Republican at Oberlin College?
In brief Dunham says that one day when she was 19 and drunk and high as a kite on Xanax and cocaine she entered a state of undress to relieve herself in a parking lot right in front her GOP friend. He then to put it delicately makes aggressive physical sexual overtures after which she takes him back to her apartment; at this point in an attempt to convince herself that shed given consent she talks dirty to him as he forces himself on her" she writes in her newly released memoir penned at the ripe old age of 27 (of course she does possess more of a certain kind of experience than any five women three times her age).
Oh theres more to the story: when Dunhams roommate characterized the incident as rape the next day Dunham laughed. Years later she pitched a version of the story to her Girls" collaborators and still didnt call it rape though her co-writers would. And now they have her convinced. But come on isnt there something wrong with Dunhams story?
I mean I still dont believe there are Republicans at Oberlin.
Whatever people think about the alleged incident and whatever the truth is anything involving Dunham and sex will only enhance her brand and promote her career as a professional slut.
Yes thats what she is. And yes I know radio host Rush Limbaugh had mucho problemos because he called Sandra Fluke the s-word. And Limbaugh was wrong to sloppily label her a slut.
Fluke is a professional too.
Understand what a professional slut is. The designation doesnt denote anything definitive about nocturnal inter-sheet acrobatics though professional sluts often do have the practical experience one might expect from someone with their stock-in-trade. Rather a professional slut is this: 1 a: a woman who uses slutty behavior or the promotion of slut-oriented behavior ideas or activism to win money fame power or influence"

No doubt Im now going to be the bad guy for saying the empress has no clothes. But you tell me: what do you call a young woman who has a penchant for getting naked in front of cameras promotes decadence and as the
Daily News reported has had more failed relationships than Henry VIII" and wrote a memoir in which fully half of the book is about sex"? If thats not a slut what is?
And Fluke? She decided to become the poster girl for free contraception for free sex.
There are many other professional sluts too. Madonna comes to mind as does Rihanna Paz de la Huerta Margaret Sanger Rita Ora Lil Kim Miley Cyrus Demi Moore Kim Kardashian and well should I maybe just name the good girls?
The people who take exception to the slut" label want to retire the word. And I get it. Sluts dont want to be called sluts any more than thugs want to be called thugs ambulance chasers want to be called ambulance chasers or liberals want to be called liberals. Heck given my unfailing humility (of which Im very proud) I dont like being called a genius. Yet I tolerate it. But since professional sluts thugs and sometimes even liberals make money being what they are I think we can call them on it.
Of course sluts never liked being called sluts but there was a time when they didnt enjoy the strength numbers bring. Now with the professional slut they can capture a market get rich gain influence and have defenders who will visit scorn on those who dare suggest theyre anything but liberated." And all these people taken together constitute todays much sought after VD voting bloc.
Just in case you consider this much ado about little know that its actually a matter of all-important truth in labeling. As Chinese sage Confucius wrote 2500 years ago in
Analects:
If names be not correct language is not in accordance with the truth of things. If language be not in accordance with the truth of things affairs cannot be conducted successfully. When affairs cannot be conducted successfully propriety will not flourish. When propriety does not flourish punishments will not be properly meted out. When punishments are not properly meted out the people will not know how to conduct themselves.
Our name for the worlds Lena Dunhams today is not in accordance with the truth of things and its one reason millions of girls do not know how to conduct themselves. Remember that as a writer once said stigmas are corollaries of values; if certain things are to be valued it follows that their opposites will be devalued. Ill add that proper stigmas are corollaries of virtues" (which refers to absolutes) and if were going to value chastity modesty and propriety it follows that sluttishness is going to be devalued and should be called sluttishness for that reason.
Of course todays dominant values are valueless which is why the
Daily News can write something such as this:
Given that Dunhams story includes therapy when she was in her single digits ongoing battles with obsessive-compulsive disorder and more failed relationships than Henry VIII some readers might be wondering what they can learn from this privileged 28-year-olds so-called life.
Possibly everything.
The reality? Shes a walking train wreck created and enabled by a society thats off the rails.
And heres the main thing I suspect will be learned from her story: become a professional slut girls and perhaps you also can be rich beyond your wildest dreams.
