Friday Fun: Are You a Slut? There's a flowchart for that!

By now must people have heard about Rush Limbaugh calling Sandra Fluke, a Georgetown law school student, a “slut” and a “prostitute” for her testimony before the House Democratic Steering and Policy Committee in support of mandated private health coverage for contraceptives. This one time self-admitted prescription drug abuser has since apologized for his slut-prostitute assault on Fluke's character but not for saying that women who want contraceptives from their health insurance are trying to get “American taxpayers” to fund their “personal sexual recreational activities."

ATL's Staci Zaretsky explains Why You Shouldn’t Call a Woman a ‘Slut’ on the Eve of Women’s History Month Because She Uses Contraceptives. For more, see Adam Serwer's Limbaugh Not The Only Conservative Who Fails To Understand How Birth Control Works on Mother Jones.

But this is a LLB Friday Fun feature. In that light and presumably as a PSA because women and men who "have sex, for like, non-procreative reasons" probably want to know if they are sluts, Mother Jones has published the below flowchart to help them answer that question.
