The Original Slut-Shaming: How Spanish Chroniclers Wrote Us Down

Before “slut-shaming” had a name, colonizers were already using shame to control Filipina bodies. Spanish chroniclers described our ancestors as “vicious” and “unchaste”—helping create a colonial narrative around purity, sexuality, and women’s bodies. The shame we carry today was never ours to begin with. It’s time to question what we inherited—and unlearn what was imposed on us.
