Why I'll be joining the London SlutWalk

[HomerJay]

For me, however, SlutWalk is a movement aimed against the discourse rather than the literal language of slut-shaming – discourse that categorises and attempts to cage in women, discourse that manifests itself in myriad forms including the varying use of words like sexy, hot, bitch, slut etc. SlutWalk can be blamed for being white supremacist but the only way it would become representative is if women of colour decide to interpret it through their own experiences and narratives, and join in the movement.

SlutWalk is therefore, for me, not about the difference between "real" sluts and "pretend" sluts, as all women have been and are under "slut scrutiny" in most of the public spaces all the time. Those coming out clean from slut scrutiny have been "rewarded" with husbands and families and those judged to be "tainted" have been "punished" in varying degrees through rape, sexual assault, street sexual harassment and other penalties

My-oh-my, how strange the world has become, when schoolgirls dress like prostitutes, and prostitutes dress like schoolgirls.

Join the walk by all means, but try to wear something decent !!

I was going to join the walk in Glasgow, but I went to a beach rave instead.

In Glasgow? Did it combine with the Orange Walk? It would explain all the fat oompa loompas dressed in river island gear.

Now there's an idea. Think how the marching season in Northern Ireland could be "improved" if every Orange march had a competing SlutWalk march.

I'm sure Ian Paisley would approve ...

I'm tempted to say something about the Red Balls of Ulster and the Rash my father bore...

But I won't

I think I'm going to march in the London Lech Walk instead. We'll be following right behind the Slut Walk, drooling, if you're interested in joining!
