Sierra's point of view on the "thot page"

A new trending word among teenagers today is "thot".  To most people thot is a term used to define promiscuous females or as some refer to as "hoes". I see the word thot as a childish, immature, acronym. The super "genius" behind the word thot was creating it as an acronym, its letters stand for These Hoes Out There. After the recent trend spread to social media, it got a bit out of hand. People started creating anonymous pages called thot pages and posting pictures of females on them. While the "creative" people behind these pages may think its a joke, the women/girls exposed think otherwise. There have been 9 suicides linked to these pages in 2014. 9 girls took their lives, and tomorrow could be 9 more. When will it stop?  I am not saying that these females on these pages, are any good , or couldn't be placed under the term thot, but I don't think they should be recognized for it. What a girl does in her free time is her business, whether its good or not its her business. Its not for the world to know.  Everyone makes mistakes and does things that aren't always right , however everyone isn't called out for it. Why is it fair to call out a few females,  and base a page off them but not do the same to those men out there doing the same thing?  Sierra's point of view on the thot page ? It should be taken down, along with all pages and accounts similar to it.
