I think what people were disagreeing with was the suggestion that men were out of line if they slut-shamed women other than their own relatives. While women slut-shaming women is not insignificant, it is a bit like a competitor criticizing a certain company’s product. Whereas a man slut-shaming a woman is much more powerful, more like a potential buyer criticizing the product. It sends the message, “Men like me are not available to bail you out from the consequences of your behavior by marrying you.” This seems like a very powerful tool to discourage slutty behavior.
Although certainly fathers discouraging their daughters from sin is ideal, I am not sure what is gained by not encouraging others to enforce standards.
