"  Miley Cyrus is (unfairly) called a lot of nasty names, including the grossest one of all: Slut. The talented 20-year-old took the high road for a long time, but she&amp;#039;s finally had enough. &amp;quot;People are idiots and call me a SLUT when I am engaged at 20 cuz [sic] I&amp;#039;m madly in love with ONE man,&amp;quot; she tweeted over the weekend in response to a photo tweeted by E! News chief Ken Baker. Baker&amp;#039;s Instagram shot of Miley included a caption about her unfair tag compared with Taylor Swift&amp;#039;s reputation as a &amp;quot;sweet, elegant, and inspirational&amp;quot; woman who has &amp;quot;been with more than 13 guys for the past 3 years.&amp;quot; This isn&amp;#039;t a fight of Miley vs. Taylor\u2014women are allowed to pursue love on their terms, no matter if it&amp;#039;s with one long-term relationship or several casual dating relationships.  No, our real beef here is with the word &amp;quot;slut&amp;quot; in general. It&amp;#039;s turned into the the generic slur of choice to dismiss women, no matter if she&amp;#039;s committed to one dude or playing the field. The worst part? Women are using it against each other as a synonym for &amp;quot;bitch&amp;quot;\u2014and it has to stop. So, we&amp;#039;re instituting a ban on the &amp;quot;S&amp;quot; word. We&amp;#039;re leaving all the cruel words in 2012. Yep, 2013 is going to be all about supporting each other as women\u2014no shaming allowed. Join us, won&amp;#039;t you? Want more from Meagan?
