First, all meaning is subjective period. But this seems bizarre to say. Zappa didn't seem to associate a negative connotation at all to the word "slut." I don't associate a negative connotation to it, either--quite the opposite rather. Zappa didn't find it negative or problematic or anything that men and women enjoyed sex. He was very pro enjoying sex.

among them the account of his secretary who seem to say that Frank Zappa and The Mothers had a double standard, one in which sleeping around was okay/encouraged for guys, but seen as a negative for girls.
I've actually played with a handful of people who played with Zappa, by the way, and this isn't the case at all as far as I know.

Re supporting it, where in any of his lyrics is there any indication of seeing enjoying sex as something negative?
