New page

[[Categorism]] focused on targeting people who are sex-workers, perceived as such, or otherwise deviate from traditional ideals of chastity. Sometimes also called “whore-stigma”. Typically targeting women only, making it a combination of [[misogyny]] and [[paraphobia]]. While mostly interchangeable, the words whore-stigma and [[slut-shaming]] do have slightly different connotations. The term whore-stigma tend to refer to accusations of being a sex-worker as well as [[prejudice]], [[bigotry]] and [[discrimination]] against actual sex-workers. The term slut-shaming tend to be more about clothing style and supposed sexuality in general. (In Swedish: horstigma or horfobi)

This is an [[intersectional focus]] [[foci of categorism|of categorism]].
