Slutwalk.nl ~ Let's Stop Blaming the Victims...

Inspiring to hear from 24Oranges that Slutwalk hits Amsterdam, a protest-movement which started after...
"...some cromagnon policeman in Toronto, Canada was quoted this year as saying “women should avoid dressing like sluts in order not to be victimized”, which was picked up and understood as women who dress provocatively, like sluts, are asking to be raped."
We are indeed no longer in the Stone Age, so Slutwalk.nl shouts out...
“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.”
Word! Liberty means absolute personal security and social safety.
