gunnysacking 

1) bringing into a given conflict situation issues that are irrelevant to said conflict

2) (to not be) forgiving of past grievances that are irrelevant in the current zeitgeist
IMHO gunnysacking is the worst possible method of conflict resolution and can make an argument or conflict less controllable than it needs to be, with often undesirable subsequent consequences

to slut shame 

to literally call a girl (who is not a prostitute by profession) a slut and tell her she should be ashamed of herself for the way she dresses simply because you do not like the way she is dressed
Craigslist post in Montreal, Canada for April 4, 2013:

" (...) you spotted me walking quickly to my class and decided you needed to stop me so you can give me your opinion about my clothing; You proceeded to slut shame me.What were you thinking? (...)"

N.B: I nominated this post for 'Brest of Craigslist', because it was actually written in as a poem, of which i have an excerpt above.
