This post assumes if taken seriously:

My mother and sister calls every girl who is “hot” & do some sort of subtle “sexual power projection”(like wearing flattering clothes) or independent types…..SLUTS

But over time you hear so many “SLUT”/”LOOSE” calls that..there is no one pure except your mother and sister.
