User:Slutswool

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Meaning of my username "slutswool":

"Slut's wool would more commonly be called "dust bunnies" these days: it is the collection of hair, dust and fluff that gathers in corners. To the Victorians, "slut" primarily meant a woman of untidy or unclean habits, and only by extension a woman of loose sexual morals." —from http://www.bookdrum.com/books/the-french-lieutenants-woman/9780099478331/bookmarks-26-50.html?bookId=1513

I use this term as a handle in my writing and creative work to connote the gathering of information and ideas, and to challenge conventional expectations of how women are supposed to spend their time.
