A propos the post below, I noticed via Facebook that some young relatives of mine went on the "Slut Walk" in Toronto this weekend.
Slut Walk came about when a cop made a dopey comment (for which he, quite rightly, apologized) in which he implied if one dressed like "a slut" one was less likely to be safe from sexual assault.
Well, a bunch of women dressed up like "sluts" and went on a march and it's been going on since. In my opinion, it's completely stupid and far more sexist than the cop's misguided comment.
It is bad enough when men call us "sluts," and it is bad enough when we call each other "sluts." But when women call themselves "sluts" it is really, really pathetic. (And of course, there are always young men on these marches, but let's face it: they are there to be faux sensitive -- see below -- and to pick up girls -- see below.)
What have I long said? Feminism liberated men. Not women.
