Anyone thinking of going? would be a great day out for the boys! Get them all hammered and it could turn in to a right session!

 

im not sure what they are trying to achieve really. I get the victimisation argument, but on the other hand, perhaps it is about the provision of guidance and protection rather than victimisation. I wonder if the 17 year old organiser is just rebelling against her parents, rather than being victimised. Unless she reckons it will make a nice college project, which it certainly would!

 

i dont get how strolling around in bare gash is going to yield a positive impact and champion the cause, and the slogan 'slutwalk' is as provactive as it comes really... if 3000 ladies want to stroll around naked, good on them i say, it is their body and their right.

 

the boys could have a slogan 'slutwalkers, end this victimisation and lets start the liberation... but no talking afterwards!'

 

this combined with pippas £3m porno proposal (http://www.holymoly.com/celebrity-news/pippa-middleton-offered-%C2%A33million-star-porn-film-world-holds-breath56009) and this is one great leap towards sexual equality...

 

dont you agree prime minister? (or should i calm down dear)

Did you look at the 'woman' (and I use that term loosely) in the picture with the article?

great url for the picture!

 

no was not going on the picture, and sure, you would have to wade through a lot of ****, but the cream rise to the top. As the article suggests, lots of women in lingerie only... those that go like that cant be a *****r, shirley?

 

Looking at the pic, the poster on the right in blue is a bit odd "'NO - Please NO, Regardless of How Often I Say YES" - what a confusing statement!?!

Difficult to know how to take this. If I was lucky enough to be accommodating a python in my underpants, and strutted around town in a pair of Speedos, I couldn't very well claim I was being harassed if women were gawping at my barely-covered tackle.

 

And yet, a lot of women go out in hugely sexualised and provocative gear, but retain the ability to be offended if you look at their baps.

 

On the more serious side, of course wearing clothes like this doesn't validate or justify rape in any way.

 

That said, I don't agree with the merits of their argument either. I don't think anyone is saying that "if you wear slutty clothes, you're asking for it", it's more a case of if you dress a certain way, you are more likely to draw attention to yourself.

 

Men don't suffer this problem in the general degree that women do, but the same principle can apply. If for example, a bloke walked alone through a dodgy area of Portsmouth proudly sporting a Southampton shirt in full view, he would be statistically more likely to get a slap than if he did the same thing in Southampton.

 

Fighting for freedom of expression is admirable, but there are cases where a bit of common sense comes up trumps. Sure, the Canadian copper that said women should "avoid dressing like sluts" was politically incorrect, but he's probably right. As far as we've come, we're still essentially animals, and any suggestions that could keep people from becoming prey to the nastier ones should be heard.
