El tildar de prostituta (del inglés slut-shaming) es un neologismo utilizado para describir el acto a culpabilizar a las personas, casi siempre a las mujeres, aludiendo a comportamientos o deseos sexuales diferentes a los ortodoxos o que pueden ser considerados contrarios a los tradicionales o religiosos, tanto si son reales como si no lo son.[1][2][3][4][5] También puede utilizarse en referencia a los varones homosexuales, que pueden enfrentarse a la desaprobación por comportamientos sexuales promiscuos.[3][6] Los varones heterosexuales rara vez son objeto de este tipo de humillación.[3]
Algunos ejemplos de circunstancias donde las mujeres son tildadas de prostitutas se incluyen: la violación de ciertos códigos de vestuario, practicar actividades como el baile en barra o el striptease, el expresar opiniones en ámbitos considerados tradicionalmente masculinos como la política, la solicitud de acceso métodos de control de la natalidad,[7][8][9] las relaciones sexuales fuera del matrimonio o la prostitución.[10][11] También puede incluir haber sido víctimas de violación o acoso sexual, ser madres solteras o incluso estar divorciadas.[12][13]

Tolman complained that we've "desexualized girls' sexuality, substituting the desire for relationship and emotional connection for sexual feelings in their bodies." Recognizing that fact, theorists have used the concept of desire as a way to undo the double standard that applauds a guy for his lust, calling him a player, and shames a girl for hers, calling her a slut.»
