‘Slutwalk’ and the Negation of Female Sexuality

UPDATE:  A Slutwalk is coming to KC.  Money is still being raised, so a date has not been set.

‘Slutwalk’ and the Negation of Female Sexuality
from Ladies Against Feminism, 6/21/11

I was recently asked to cover an event in London known as the ‘Slutwalk.’ The event, which features scores of women walking down the street dressed as ‘sluts,’ started in Toronto on April 3. Since then, according to the Wikipedia article about it, the movement has spread to other towns throughout the US, Canada, Australia, Europe and even the Middle East...The march is an opportunity for women to dress in bikinis, miniskirts and other minimalist outfits. In one march a woman appeared in her underwear with the word ‘slut’ written across her skin. Some have even gone completely topless. (Read the rest of the article
