It's not trying to stop it. These ideas of propriety are so deeply ingrained in society that it is impossible to stop it altogether, although it is possible to challenge certain societal taboos is a bid to change public perception gradually over time. There will always be the hangers on who steadfastly refuse to change and usually they are the ones who are the loudest. Gay rights activists didn't start using the term faggot to stop other people from being homophobic, they did it to flip the script - to say 'fuck you, you don't get to tell us how to live, you're the problem'. The effectiveness of the strategy is open to debate, for sure.....but I think all in all, slut shaming is decreasing as society shifts away from taboos about the sex lives of women.But that's my point.
This does not help stop slut shaming.
