Some suggested solutions for stopping/alleviating slut shaming (which in turn will hopefully have an effect on rape culture) are:

1. Instead of teaching girls and women not to dress a certain way in order to avoid negative sexual attention, boys and men should be taught not to teach females as sexual objects. This is an idea that goes back to ancient times, but it does not mean that it has to continue into the future. Similar to the idea that women are property is outdated, so must the idea that a woman’s value is in her purity and sexual repression. If men are taught that women are worth more than their physical aspects, it may create change with the prevalence of rape culture. This core belief that women are objects instead of people is what allows men to treat women in whatever way they please. If they are taught at a young age to believe otherwise, there would not be such a widespread dislike for females to be proud of their bodies.

2. At the same time, in order to stop the use of slut shaming by men to oppress women, women must stop slut shaming each other. By using the label of slut to oppress other women, it only reinforces the idea that it is acceptable for men to do the same. Women use slut shaming as a way of competing with one another, but this action only prevents women as a whole from advancing. If women were to empower one another instead of oppressing others based on race and class, it would be easier to create change with males. This is a core idea that would take time to really address.
