Here's why it bothers people

[(Anonymous)]

Because saying Natasha is slut for flirting with her coworkers is calling any woman who exhibits that behavior a slut.

If you have a closer friendship with a dude (Clint), kiss another coworker to distract someone (Steve), get hit on by another coworker (Tony), and date another one (Bruce), you are, by Renner's definition, a slut.

And it's unfair. Because no, there's nothing wrong with having lots of sex. It doesn't hurt anyone. But being called a slut is demeaning and is used to put people down. It's also used as a way to hurt people -- if you have a reputation as a slut, it can really hurt you if you're raped and want to press charges against your attacker. It can also make guys trying to pick you up really hostile.

Re: Here's why it bothers people

I think most people (at least most people here) understand why the joke bothers people. And I think most people (at least here) would disagree with the underlying worldview it implies. But there's a perception of an overreaction to it, and I think that's what people have problems with, and people want to say that Jeremy Renner is a Hollywood actor who made a tasteless joke, and that it's still okay to like watching him in movies or enjoy his public persona or what have you.

Of course, you may say that no one on earth has overreacted to the joke and that people are simply calmly pointing out that the joke wasn't funny. And maybe it's so. I have no fucking idea. I'm just saying, that's the issue people are having when they're taking this position.
