Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Slut-shaming is the practice of criticizing people, especially women and girls, who are perceived to violate expectations of behavior and appearance regarding issues related to sexuality.[1][2][3] The term is used to reclaim the word slut and empower women and girls to have agency over their own sexuality.[3] Gender-based violence can be a result of slut-shaming primarily affecting women.[4] It may also be used in reference to gay men, who may face disapproval for promiscuous sexual behaviors.[1][5] Slut-shaming rarely happens to heterosexual men.[1]
Examples of slut-shaming include being criticized or punished for: violating dress code policies by dressing in sexually provocative ways; requesting access to birth control;[6][7][8] having premarital, extramarital, casual, or promiscuous sex; or engaging in prostitution or other sex work.[9][10] It can also include being victim-blamed for being raped or otherwise sexually assaulted.[11][12]
