Is "slut shaming" an outdated form of birth control?

If you don't know what "slut shaming" is, it's basically saying that someone is bad if they have sex with a lot of people.

Having sex with a lot of people could be a bad thing in the past when birth control wasn't widely available, because we would have women with more children than they knew what to do with, no knowledge of who the father is, and of course, an easier time spreading disease.

However, nowadays, with birth control and protection, the spread of STDS and pregnancy can be drastically reduced. So people can have sex a lot without many negative consequences. But society still slut shames a lot. Is it just an old habit?

    The thing is that "slut shaming" was really NOT about birth control at all but about controlling women. Women can only physically have so many kids and back before birth control women had a lot of kids. I have a great great grandmother who gave birth to 17 children. Slut shaming was men not wanting women to have sex with other men so they could be certain to be the father of their kids and not about birth control at all.

    Slut shaming is mostly a myth. Women for good or bad are more sexually free than ever. The minority that shames promiscuous women also shames promiscuous men.

    Telegony is real; research it. Sluts have sick kids because of law of telegony. Antichrist's mother is a 12th generation prostitute; all the bad DNA was passed onto antichrist (including demons). Abortion = 1st degree murder. Mothers who abort get breast cancer; their aborted kids burn in hell for 33 and a half years. A demon is freed for each aborted kid. Pepsi and make up have cells of aborted in them; use of such products leads to demon possession; and, during resurrection, women who used such make up will be without lips. Forgive me.

    I think it's more of an attention getter, and wanting someone to do something about it.
