Protest marches are planned in several U.S. cities, including Seattle, sparked by a Toronto police officer's flippant comment that women should avoid dressing like "sluts" to avoid being raped or victimized.These girls don't hold candle to the Ukrainian girls from FEMEN, who really do protest topless (NSFW, really, and not ugly, either!).
During the so-called SlutWalks, some women and men dress in nothing more remarkable than jeans and T-shirts, while others wear provocative or revealing outfits to bring attention to "slut-shaming," or shaming women for being sexual, and the treatment of sexual assault victims.
"It was taking the blame off the rapist and on the victim," said Nicole Sullivan, 21, a student at the University of Massachusetts-Boston and an organizer of the SlutWalk planned Saturday in that city. "So we are using these efforts to reclaim the word `slut."'
OK, I agree with this; you don't rape women for what they wear, no matter how titillating. Nothing wrong with ridiculing them for it, however. These chicks are just trying to act tough without really having to do anything. In Ukraine, they really do risk something
Aretha has my respect, these girls, not so much:
