My initial reaction: Slut is just a word. Many people I'm around use it, and near every other vulgarity imaginable, so often the word itself is no longer hurtful, only tone carries the message across. Babes, and most of my other friends, often call me a man-slut. Why? Because it's funny and I'm probably one of the most sexually tuned people around them, regardless of my number of partners. But with the right tone, you could call me a cream cheese bagel and I'd take, if somewhat confused, offense at it.
Personally, I don't believe a woman should need to downplay her sexuality. The word slut aside, I don't believe a woman can have too many partners. The number of partners she's happy with is just and simply that. I can't speak for more men than myself, as I don't often hang out with many men, but I'd be just as comfortable settling down with a woman who had many partners in the past as I would a woman with few. Relationships are based on the people in them, not past relationships.
