Substitute another racist or other pejorative in place of "slut, bitch, etc." and your post will be removed. Apparently calling someone a slut is just fine by Facebook.

Hell, I know I'm objectified. But that doesn't mean I have to take it lying down (so to speak). I will call it as I see it, as I've always done.
