I don’t know if it’s a common misconception, but for long time, I thought a prostitute and slut were words with the same meaning. Apparently, they’re not. Turns out, prostitution is a profession whileslut is a word that’s more ambiguous.
Here’s how the Oxford Dictionary defines a prostitute:
The term slut is however, more confusing. And used more liberally. Here are a few definitions.
Oxford Dictionary:
Wikipedia:
Urban Dictionary:
The only thing that’s certain from these definitions is this: SLUT is a very derogatory term.
And let’s not blame the men. More often than not, SLUT is a term used by women to define other women.
I still don’t understand the word, but from what I gather, these are the things that would brand any woman a SLUT:

I guess things are a little clearer to me now. I think I know what makes me a slut.
Being independent makes me a slut.
Being popular me a slut.
Being confident about my body and my sexuality makes me a slut.
Having a right to choose makes me a slut.
Being expressive makes me a slut.
Being born a woman makes me a slut.
In that case, yes I am a slut.
And I don’t regret being a slut.
