OK, wow, there's really a lot to unpack here. Let's start:
1) Why can't I do the same thing? Basically, that makes yourself no better than the people you claim to despise. Slut-shaming other people whose tribe may also be guilty of slut-shaming doesn't make you better than them.

2) If you call out a woman on the basis of sex, sexual histories, sexual choices... basically, you're going back to a prejudice as long as the history of mankind. Men are revered for sexual conquests, women are rebuked for it. And that highlights inequality of man and woman.
3) But also, more often than not, using sex to demean a woman is not about desire, lust, or virility. It is a power structure. You were promiscuous, you engaged in sexual acts of public consumption, therefore you cannot be better than me, as if this is a supreme code of morality.
4) Take note as well that a woman doesn't need to have multiple partners to be labeled as slut. In this culture, wearing skimpy clothing is enough to be branded as such.
5) Slut-shaming is a precursor rape culture. When you call a woman a "slut," what you are also invariably encouraging your audience to think is that this person deserved to be shamed and assaulted for it. Does anyone have a right to assault anyone's body?
6) You are being called out for slut-shaming as you pretty much revealed how you think about women. No woman, regardless of her past, her political stance, or her problematic beliefs should be slut-shamed. Question her on the merit of her thoughts and actions, NOT ON HER SEX.
And yes, I had to take a screenshot, because I have seen how rude that person is to my girl friends. Here is a misogynist who has no idea why he is one and flaunts pretty much that he refuses to listen to people who engage him on problematic beliefs.
