No, I think it's totally slut-shaming Xander for his willingness to go out with Cordelia.
Interestingly enough...Mark Watches brought up that whole bit as a nice twist or subversion of the slut-shaming. In that the women shame Xander. They talk about how he's a total slut. And in another scene - Cordelia asks if all Xander thinks about is sex, Xander responds - "I'm a 17 year old boy, I look at lineoleum and I think about sex..."
Cordy shames him. As does Willow and Buffy at different points.
It's interesting that Xander never really exhibits jealousy of any of the other boyfriends but Angel and Spike and possibly Ford.
