The slut shaming of Carrie Prejean

Look, if you have a problem with Carrie Prejean -- "slut shaming" her is not the proper critique. Valid criticism could include:

1. Beauty pageants are awful sexist institutions that should die a natural death as our society evolves.
2. She has a contract that states she would be a spokesperson to draw attention to helping people with disabilities and she is violating her contract by becoming James Dobson's bitch.
3. She's a bigot.
4. She's a bigot and she's using her body to get old Republican white guys off in the name of moral purity.
5. She's a bigot and she's practicing bigotry in the name of religion.

But the naked or nearly naked pictures of her are not the issue.

Thanks.
