So you think a cause is unimportant because only a few handfuls of people show up? “Shakes head”.

How odd the msm did not cover such “culture” during the World Series.

Is there any sign of these SF-type outlandish gatherings waning?

Now we (the viewing audience) just need to convince the exibitionist nudests to do a naked slut walk! It could be billed as a two in one protest. Pro Feminism and pro nudity. That would be San Francisco style to the extreme.

To quote a great president from our past: “Well, there you go again”. Donna, this is a typical liberal/conservative argument. We are talking past one another. I’m not fighting slutwalk, I’m pointing out the truth. Because you do not like the truth, you are angry at me for pointing it out. Sorry, but there are so many people like you out there who are in a fog…and deem themselves intellectually superior when engaging in these types of discussions to make themselves feel better. Do you now? I hope so, but don’t be lulled into a false sense of security because rape isn’t going to stop, and men will continue to beat women and force themselves on them as well. This activity has happened since the dawn of man. The question for you is, do you REALLY want to stop rape? If you do, you’d vote for a president that is on the side of the rule of law. Clearly, Barack Obama is not. If you want to stop rape, you’ll make sure to mentor young girls and give them valuable advice instead of having them dress in body stockings and merkins while carrying vapid signs. You’ll work with law enforcement instead of lumping them all into the same category as the Canadian police officer who seems to have sparked this silly outrage. And, you will take responsibility for yourself. Don’t buy a handgun; that is your right…but you also have a risk when you go out, alone, in certain parts of our country. It’s reality. I think it is time for you and your slutwalker friends to face that reality.

If you didn’t use some choice phrases that would lead me to believe you prefer a lame 50s setting, then I wouldn’t have to jump to that little conclusion. Get over it.

If men were being made aware of the gravity of even date rape (which is often not viewed as such by the general public, just watch any college movie), then women wouldn’t have to be blamed for their assault. That happens far too often. And the other problem with having to watch our backs constantly is that this is not an issue for men. You could say that it’s dangerous for anyone to go out at night, but what’s the worst, more common occurrence for men? a mugging? I’m not saying other bad things don’t happen to men, of course, but the ratios of rape to non-rape victims are completely irregular between the sexes. Obviously woman are being targeted, not because of what we wear or how sexual we are, but because something is deeply wrong with the society we live in. And to top it off, factors that have nothing to do with rape have people pointing their fingers at us. Yet another reason why this society is fucked up. Men don’t have to arm themselves to go to the grocery, but women do? Defense doesn’t cure the disease, it only fights the symptoms.

There are many layers to the Slutwalk and everyone involved has a slightly different idea of what they hoped to accomplish from it. It was a success to us, so leave it at that. Your mediocre rantings aren’t going to make us stop, especially because you make it so clear that you are either not reading anything I’m saying or just can’t grasp the concepts I bring up. Good luck in your slutwalk-fighting endeavors.

Dearest Donna, you are all over the place with your logic, or lack thereof. Slutwalk doesn’t prevent rape, but you think that it does tell men not to rape? I don’t follow. The majority of men know not to rape. We have a (mostly) civil society. And no, I don’t view women like Ozzie and Harriet or something…this is a liberal canard that is instantly inserted into arguments like this. You are just wrong. And you obviously aren’t looking at my Slutwalk posts from 2011 which explains to Baukunin why the protest is silly. It just is. It doesn’t prevent rape, you said it yourself. And it doesn’t empower women at all. It really serves no purpose. If you want to go to the grocery late at night, arm yourself. There is no chaos from armed citizenry taking responsibility for their own safety. I suggest you inform your fellow Slutwalkers to take charge of their own destiny and dress appropriately for the situation, arm themselves if they feel it necessary, and focus their attention on more constructive activities.

One more thing: as much as I am all for proper firearm use and firearms as protection, I don’t think the solution is necessarily to give everyone guns. Imagine the chaos that would ensue. Also, and this is a personal opinion (like the rest of this banter), it seems more dangerous to have such a volatile weapon on hand in case an assailant somehow gets it away from the holder. Anyway, the protest is not acting as a solution anyway. It’s about awareness and shifting social mindset on the subject.
