So apparently a lady in Toronto was raped and a police officer made a comment about how she was dressed played into her getting raped. Now that has kicked off these protest walks called "Slut Walk" where women march dressed I guess you could say...slutty. This now hitting America and is coming to my city soon. Here's the thing for me, no matter what a woman wears it never justifies rape. A woman could walk around naked and I still don't think that would justify rape. Nothing justifies rape. What I don't get is using the term slut, or glorifying it. Some guys I know addressed this fact that they support the walk but it should be called something else. They received in return some volatile responses/insults from women that are going to take part in this. A lot of it sounded like pre-scripted bullshit. The one thing that interested me though was that these women are claiming to use the word slut to take it back and get rid of it's bad connotation. I've never heard of an "N-word" walk, or any other racial slur walk for that matter. To me the word, slut, is nowhere in the same realm as the n-word or any other racial slur. To me, if you dress like a slut then you shouldn't be surprised if someone calls you a slut. The simple solution is to not dress like a slut. It reminds me of something that Chris Rock said once. Something like "If you go up to someone that is in a police officer uniform and say "Excuse me police officer" could you imagine them saying "How dare you!!! I'm not a police officer!! I'm just wearing the uniform"? It doesn't happen that way. If you wear the ho uniform you should expect people to think you are a ho".
So...what the fuck gives?
