Slut-shaming is a manifestation of bullying with epidemic proportions in the USA. Sandra Fluke appeared on the cover of Ms. magazine in 2012 above the title: “You Called Me What?” The notorious walk in Game of Thrones launched a pervasive “Shame” meme in 2015. Organizations are devoted to exposing and combating slut-shaming: SlutWalk, http://www.unslutproject.com/ />The Witch is experiencing a renaissance, with the release of the film The Witch (2015), a bestseller about the Salem Witch Trials.
First book ever to draw links between historical persecution of witches and contemporary epidemic of slut-shaming.

Quotes

  • Bethhas quoted6 years ago
    After a decade of exploring gender in contemporary music, art, and culture as a journalist, I started a sex-positive feminist website called Slutist.
  • Paola M. Arvizuhas quoted3 years ago
    You have hundreds of years of art history where men, at least on record, were the ones creating images of witches,” Grossman says. “Sometimes they were really sexy, young temptresses that would lead to your downfall, and sometimes they were hags who literally boiled babies and cast hexes on you.”
  • Paola M. Arvizuhas quoted3 years ago
    The Enemy Within that the witch hunt as metaphor is “a mode (most often) of moral reproach.” You’ll find the label readily affixed when there appears to be “some allegation of subversive intent, of conspiratorial menace, of concealed betrayal.”
