I believe that many women on here were victims at some point in their lives and low self-esteem, feeling that they somehow deserved it or caused it is part of the pathology of being a abused.
On the flip side, what about the women who select a name that implies they are the physically sublime?

I wouldn't assume that a woman who posts using a nickname that is a variation on "slut" has low self-esteem. Perhaps she is just exploring an alternate persona or playing with ideas about identity?
I have been perceived most of my life as a very straight, serious, upright, appropriate, law-abiding politically correct sort of woman. (I'm too old for anyone to think of as innocent. . .) And mostly I am. . . .but I also have an extraordinary libido, adore porn, and am fascinated by extreme and alternate sexual practices like BDSM and FSRP.
So, I love to be called a slut or a cunt and to think of myself that way -- in the appropriate context of course, not in line at the grocery store -- because to do so is to share or reveal my hidden side. . Also, if slut means a woman who loves to fuck, I don't really think of it as an insult. . .
I've never been victimized and my self-esteem is pretty good. Now, there are names I wouldn't appreciate--"dumb" for example, because I'm not. "Fat" because although I'm thin right now, I've had a few weight battles. . .
