Notice how the countries where the most female skin is visible in public are also the countries where there are the most women PhDs, women with careers (not just bottom-scraping pittance wages) & where there are laws on the books that punish the attacker, and don't punish the woman who was attacked (and in punishing, I include laws that completely obstruct any chance of justice, like requiring 4 witnesses to a rape - that's just giving offenders instructions on how to get away with it).
I'm a big fan of SlutWalk because for so much of history the concept of the "slut", as well as known or supposed sexual behavior divided women who otherwise would have everything in common. Even in the 21st century, when teens view oral sex as a category of behavior similar to tongue-kissing, sexually-active teen girls will label a girl they want to see ostracized as a "slut". I notice that men don't use the sexual history of another man, or men, as a social weapon against them.

Always been a big fan.
I'm an even bigger fan when porn stars and prostitutes show up.
No matter the situation, no one has the right to rape anyone, ever. Nor should anyone be demeaned for something we all enjoy, it makes no sense.
