Toronto‘s ’Slut Walk’ Protest–Or, Why Feminism is Doomed

As Middle Eastern activists take to the streets to protest the corrupt regimes under which they live, young feminists in Toronto are using their democratic rights to protest a decidedly different cause: the Slut Walk.

Torontos Slut Walk Protest Or, Why Feminism is Doomed

Susan B. Anthony is rolling over in her grave.

The Canadian women, as you can see in the CBC news clip below, were marching in the streets of Toronto on Sunday in the city’s first Slut Walk–”a demonstration with a difference,” the CBC anchor gravely observes.

“I strongly believe in women’s sexuality,” one young female protester said with conviction at the march.

Another chimed in: “I think that I can dress in a thong and some tights–and maybe not wear any underwear when I’m wearing a skirt, and that not be a consent for me to get raped.” Amen, sister?!

Torontos Slut Walk Protest Or, Why Feminism is Doomed

In the background, you hear a man shouting “we love sluts! we love sluts!” Chalk that up to….women’s empowerment?

The Slut Walk protest was spurred by comments a police officer made when he was visiting Canada’s York University. Speaking about safety, he said that “women should avoid dressing like sluts in order not to be victimized.”

Welllll. These hot-and-bothered feminists were not going to take that sitting down. So here they are, standing, proclaiming their right to be sluts!

Torontos Slut Walk Protest Or, Why Feminism is Doomed

According to the Slut Walk website, these women…

…are tired of being oppressed by slut-shaming; of being judged by our sexuality and feeling unsafe as a result. Being in charge of our sexual lives should not mean that we are opening ourselves to an expectation of violence, regardless if we participate in sex for pleasure or work. No one should equate enjoying sex with attracting sexual assault.

Here is everything you ever wanted to know and more about the Slut Walk:

As the city’s major protective service, the Toronto Police have perpetuated the myth and stereotype of ‘the slut’, and in doing so have failed us. With sexual assault already a significantly under-reported crime, survivors have now been given even less of a reason to go to the Police, for fear that they could be blamed. Being assaulted isn’t about what you wear; it’s not even about sex; but using a pejorative term to rationalize inexcusable behaviour creates an environment in which it’s okay to blame the victim.

Historically, the term ‘slut’ has carried a predominantly negative connotation. Aimed at those who are sexually promiscuous, be it for work or pleasure, it has primarily been women who have suffered under the burden of this label. And whether dished out as a serious indictment of one’s character or merely as a flippant insult, the intent behind the word is always to wound, so we’re taking it back. “Slut” is being re-appropriated.

We are tired of being oppressed by slut-shaming; of being judged by our sexuality and feeling unsafe as a result. Being in charge of our sexual lives should not mean that we are opening ourselves to an expectation of violence, regardless if we participate in sex for pleasure or work. No one should equate enjoying sex with attracting sexual assault.

We are a movement demanding that our voices be heard. We are here to call foul on our Police Force and demand change. We want Toronto Police Services to take serious steps to regain our trust. We want to feel that we will be respected and protected should we ever need them, but more importantly be certain that those charged with our safety have a true understanding of what it is to be a survivor of sexual assault — slut or otherwise.

We are tired of speeches filled with lip service and the apologies that accompany them. What we want is meaningful dialogue and we are doing something about it: WE ARE COMING TOGETHER. As people from all gender expressions and orientations, all walks of life, levels of employment and education, all races, ages, abilities, and backgrounds, from all points of this city and elsewhere.

We are asking you to join us for SlutWalk, to make a unified statement about sexual assault and victims’ rights and to demand respect for all. Whether a fellow slut or simply an ally, you don’t have to wear your sexual proclivities on your sleeve, we just ask that you come. Any gender-identification, any age. Singles, couples, parents, sisters, brothers, children, friends. Come walk or roll or strut or holler or stomp with us.

    Yah, I thought they like to take it laying down. Anyway, No one should be raped, even if they walk around naked. On the other hand, if they can walk around with little to no clothing, then why can’t men? Isn’t that sexist? Not saying I want men walking around naked, I don’t, but the logic doesn’t work for me.

    Given that I was just commenting on the issue of the pastor burning a Koran and the Muslim fanatical responce this is an interesting pararell story. The sluts, like the Pastor, may not be directly responsible for the violence that ensues, but that is not to say there isn’t a connection. The question then becomes, “Given the observed correlation which we cannot eliminate, is dressing as a slut worth the risk?”

    As a related issue, I should be able to walk into a bar in Harlem and spout the N word without fear of being beaten up, because words are never an excuse for violence. Yep, I SHOULD be able to, but I’m an idiot for thinking that I CAN.

Sadly the police recently had a huge memorial march. About 30,000 law enforcement officers from around the country marched in honor of Sergeant Ryan Russell who was run down by a stolen snow plow.

      No you didn’t read it right. The sluts say: “No one should equate enjoying sex with attracting sexual assault.” Well OBVIOUSLY. There’s never any excuse for sexual abuse and the blame should never be placed on the victim. But is taking to the streets to protest your right to not wear underwear under your skirt really going to help that cause? No. It’s just stupid. It‘s probably hurting more than it’s helping. And I think that’s why the report takes a bewildered agreement tone. The message is right, the delivery is moronic.

      Why is it that the obvious argument in favor of sexual morality is never made yet all of the straw man arguments are constanty being foisted as the subject of outrage? The issue is plain and simple, humans are sick, depraved sometimes violent animals. Why go out of your way to appear as a target to the depraved?If I walked around in Detroit with hundred dollar bills pinned to my coat I have a logical expectation that the sane among us would look at me like I was asking for trouble while the sick among us would be planning their assault. Is this not logic?
      Likewise a woman who flaunts her body in sexually aggressive ways will be looked upon by the sane as looking for trouble while the depraved seek to commit their acts of violence. Common sense, don’t wear a belt made of freshly cut meat if you plan on walking among wild animals.

      I think you have it right I agree this may not be the best way to deliver the message, but who knows it may work. I can‘t believe a policeman would say that they shouldn’t wear slutty clothes in order to prevent being raped. That is ridiculous. He definitely needed sensitivity training. Rape is about POWER and not about the way you are dressed. The way I understood it was they were having alot of unreported rapes for this reason, that the victim was reluctant to file charges because they blamed the victim if she happened to be dressed seductively.The Canadians are way behind, I thought blaming the victim was over decades ago when they realized rape had absolutely nothing to do with SEX but POWER. I think their statement is you can go out dressed as a SLUT and your chances to be raped have not increased. Obviously this has been a big problem there.Maybe this will indeed bring about the message they seek and it seems the Police have reconized their failure in dealing with this and are now having to go thru sensitivity training and special training in how to deal with a woman to put her at ease and not at fault so more will report what has actually happened to them, Sometimes maybe the ridiculous gets the message across better. It is not likely they will forget the “slut walk” which is their purpose.

      The whole profession of Slut is predicated on the inability to keep it in one’s pants. OF COURSE dressing like you want to be easily accessed will elicit those thoughts.

      Stop acting like sex isn’t the powerful emotion that it is; Sex is extremely important to people, which is why it needs to be treated with respect.

      Just to be clear, though, nothing justifies rape – “no” means “no”.

      SleezyHippo,

      That’s a very creative way of intentionally misrepresenting the statements. What has been said is that if you dress like a slut you are more likely to have it happen. For example I am more likely to have my watch taken by a robber if it‘s a diamond encrusted gold watch than if it’s a $13 digial watch from WalMart. It doesn’t make it right to take the watch but it is more likely.

      Somehow, I think that regardless of what the message a society receives via the way someone dresses, the message is still there. Women who dress like they are willing to hop into the nearest bed or backseat of a car will attract men who are ready, willing and able. However, it is also wise to remember that the people one attracts may not be the people one would want as guard-your-friends and their interest may only be transitory — very transitory….

      SISSYKATZ: “I thought blaming the victim was over decades ago when they realized rape had absolutely nothing to do with SEX but POWER.”
      ————–
      That is a ludicrous lie liberal feminist Susan Brownmiller propagated to de-sexualize Western societies and deconstruct biologically determined male and female sexual roles. The feminist characterization of rape as asexual was used to transition society from the acceptance of natural behavior to one of learned responses, to wit, the proverbial nature vs. nurture dichotomy. Given that rape is a reprehensible act, it served as a perfect tool to efface male sexual dominance. Male sexual dominance and female submission are the inherent biological roles present in human sexual intercourse (OK, shoot me.) Let me quickly add that these roles are ideally exercised within the framework of love, in which mutually giving, meaningful and lasting relationships can be built. However, because of feminist brainwashing, male sexual dominance in Western societies is only recognized in very negative contexts where it is not constructively channeled, such as prostitution and psychopathic sexual deviances such as rape.

      If rape is just about power and not sex, why do gay pedophiles rape boys and straight pedophiles rape girls? This fact indicates that sexual desire and sexual satisfaction, what we commonly know as SEX, is the driving force behind pedophilic rape. If rape is about power, why are beautiful and/or young women the ones who get raped when the rapist CAN choose his victim? Sure, any woman can be raped if she is in a vulnerable situation, but the feminist claim that it proves rape is about power is a huge leap in logic. All it proves is that rapists have deviant sexual behavior, among other abnormal behavioral traits. I am not trying to deny the presence of other factors. People are complex creatures. However, to deny the sexual element of rape is sheer stupidity.

      In societies where females are still subservient to males, SEXUAL dominance — not asexual power — is patently evident in male-female sexual relationships. Thus, a married woman must satisfy her husband’s SEXUAL desires at all times, regardless of her mood. In said societies marital rape is an alien concept. Conversely in Western societies, where male sexual dominance has been psychologically effaced, marital rape is viewed as a POWER crime.

      Women can pretend that being scantily or provocatively dressed has nothing to do with getting raped. Yet, is there a woman on earth who has not dressed provocatively to seduce their man? Obviously, normal men do not rape scantily dressed women they happen to pass by on the street. Sexually deviant men do.

      How does rape empower a man, except in that he is able to exercise his male dominance at whim? The power factor IS present in some cases such as war, but even then, it is more about trampling on the honor of the male enemy by defiling those whom men are supposed to protect. If you are a woman, don’t buy into the liberal/feminist BS. Use your common sense, i.e., don’t be like that false pastor in Florida and the idiot in the WH, who both lit the match that started the fire and never owned up to it.

      AMAZINGLY lucid argument, Kryptonite. I’ve never heard it debunked so powerfully before. You can write my papers anytime!
      On the other hand, I think there’s still something to be said about subconscious desires for power surfacing in rape as sex + radical possession.
      Am I off base?

      Absolutely. A rapist can experience a range of pathological urges, such as intense anger, revenge and misogyny. The feminist argument falls flat on its face, though, when it claims that rape is not about sex. If all a man wanted was power, beating or even violently screaming at a woman or child would easily suffice, especially since statistics show that most rape victims are either young adults or children Thus there is clearly a (very sick) sexual component that cannot be dismissed. The desire for (radical) possession is really an expression of (deviant) male sexual dominance.

      Feminists and liberal society in general downplay the sexual component of rape because it is part of their larger agenda to create a sexually amorphous society, namely, one where male sexual dominance is seen exclusively as deviant behavior, and a learned (as opposed to natural) trait. It explains how liberal judges can put “rehabbed” rapists back on the streets and sleep at night.

      Thanks for your reply. I’d get an F on this paper. ;)

      @sleazyhippo

      “If I read this Blaze article right, some of us are saying it’s “OK” to have forcible non-consensual sex with someone if they are “slutty” – is that what this means, then? Sluts do not have rights?”

      Your reading of the article has nothing to do with your pre-determined conclusions, please, you can do better trolling than that sir.

      There is common sense to be found in advising a man not to walk down the middle of an inner city street at night while dressed to the nines and flashing a wad of $100.00 bills for all to see. Similarly there is common sense to be found in advising women not to dress too provocatively so as to prompt slavering animals who don’t care what “no” means to act where otherwise they may not have.

      Common sense. Pass it on.

      The cop said nothing wrong. Some women dress so slutty that those evil men get even more aroused. It’s just bringing more attention. I could care less how a woman dresses, I love women, but what the cop said wasn’t insensitive. It was true.

      I disagree with Glen on this one. The officer wasn’t saying that dressing like a slut made it ok to be raped. he said that if you dress like a slut, you are more likely to attract unwanted attention. That’s like sayingn that wearing a necklace made of Zebra meat may attract unwanted lion attention.

      What a stupid protest. Of course you should be allowed to dress however you want. Just know that there are humans who are little better than animals and are provoked by certain things.

      Not all rape is about power. A lot of rapes are about lusting for the person. You can tell which is which. If the guy beats the girl it’s usually about power. There are cases where rape happens to just fulfill a persons appetite.

      The policeman should not have used the word slut. On the other hand, the reaction is out of sorts and hides the main issue. Dressing in any manner is NOT an excuse for rape or assault BUT … it does increase the likelihood. This is a fact and the policeman should have used more proper language to communicate it. What I think, what any politically correct person, what any feminist thinks has little impact on the thoughts of serious sexual deviants who will forcibly rape those in the category of their choosing. Dress as you want, you are not at fault if you are attacked … but you did voluntarily increase the likelihood of an attack. Unless you want a police state, life is full of risks, there is a risk in dressing certain ways. If you are willing to take the chances, then go for it.

    If a cop had said “Don‘t give little children a loaded gun to play with or they’ll get hurt or hurt someone”. I suppose that’s anti-child freedom?
    If a doctor said,“wear a condom or you could get an std or worse” That’s anti sexual freedom?

    Things like…“Lock your house ”, “wear sunscreen”, “don’t pet unknown dogs”…etc. All are common sense. Dress like a skank you’ll be treated like a skank is also common sense…unfortunately, these skanks don’t have common sense, so it needed to be said.
    ….Nobody said they couldn’t dress the way they do…it was just pointed out that if you wear a sign that says “free beer” to a frat party, you should expect some attention.
