RE: Compassion
For some, "slut" is not a derogatory term:

However, I can't imagine Mr. Harrell was thinking of a slut in a favorable
fashion. I also can't find a definition that would include a top free women
(without further qualifications).
My wife and I have been to several nudist clubs and have never seen any
behaviors that would qualify for slutiness as per the dictionary definition.
My guess is that Mr. Harrell has a problem with rectal-cranium inversion.

Mr. Harrell's post (below) is extremely offensive for many reasons.
I've firmly sat on my fingers with the recent name calling, but this is
just too much. Perhaps there's good reason Mr. Harrell's posts continue
to be intercepted by my spam filtering service.
How *dare* you label women who choose to go naturally topfree as
"sluts"?! Who are you to sit in judgment? Given your extremely narrow
point of view, I seriously doubt you know any woman who might choose to
go naturally topfree well enough to know anything of her sexual
behavior. Yet, you sure are awfully quick to apply a horribly offensive
label to such women. Shame on you!
Contrary to your warped views, there are many, many women in this
community, in this county, in this state, in this country, and in this
world for whom going topfree has absolutely nothing to do with sex or
sexuality or "fornication".
I'm sorry for you, and for our community, that you are so hung up on
sitting in judgment and juvenile name calling that you are unable to
understand such a basic concept. It's not rocket science: excluding
lewd behavior, whether or not breasts are viewed as sexual depends on
the eye of the beholder, *not* on the breasts. I'm sorry to say I guess
we know where you fit in the equation. That's your personal problem --
don't try to blame women for that!
You seem to see topfree women as a "threat" to our children. I
*strongly* disagree. My daughter has been raised with a *healthy*
attitude towards breasts and would not understand your faulty
stereotyping, nor the hatred obvious in your post.
The children in this community face some very real threats, but those
threats do NOT include breasts. Rather, it's your attitude and
perverted views that are dangerous to our children. Those are (some of)
the threats. I'm much more concerned about my daughter coming across a
person with your views than I am with her seeing breasts downtown!
Your misogynistic opinions would be *much* more frightening and harmful
to her than seeing bare breasts.
Too bad we can't pass a law against that . . .

How about being inclusive and label
women and men that are fornicators as sluts. In my original post, I used
the
term in the context of the issues that have been placed before us
regarding the
slutty behavior of women exposing themselves downtown in public <snip>
Nevertheless, I still desire that the rights of innocent children and
not those of dirty women would prevail in Moscow. The rights of a child
to walk downtown to buy candy at a store should not require a child to
have to endure a hostile
sexual environment in public downtown Moscow <snip>
