so uh serious question what's the purpose of slutwalks? seems like an excuse to get naked in public and i am down like a clown w/ that

It's supposed to help destigmatize the word "slut" and the culture of "slutshaming" in general.

there's a few reasons, one is what smelly bohemian said another is to make a point that women should be able to dress however the gently caress they want and not be blamed for 'asking for it' if someone rapes them

uhhh if they want to destigmatize the word shouldn't they walk around in business suits and doctor coats and call themselves sluts instead of walking around naked and calling themselves sluts? seem like a bunch of dumb-o's to me

How come there's always this direct relationship at these events between how attractive a girl is and how much clothes she wears. Like the hot ones seem okay with covering up but big ol gut and tube sock tits is wearing nothing but pasties.

I get that a major point of this is 'women should be allowed to wear what they want and not get raped' but don't the stats already point to that being a debunked myth? There's the whole conservative narrative that women shouldn't dress provocatively because it will attract unwanted attention but I could have sworn I read somewhere that clothing wasn't actually a statistically relevant factor in who gets raped in the first place.

It's statistically relevant to victim blaming, though, which is what these marches are trying to combat.

Yeah that's my point, there aren't bush rapists getting turned on by mini skirts or something. Implying it's partly someone's fault they got raped because of what they were wearing is obviously morally repugnant victim blaming, but beyond that it's not even a factor in the first place. You're not any more likely to get raped by being scantily clad it's just a commonly believed myth that fits in with some people's just world fallacy. It seems kinda weird to me to have a protest about something that's not actually a real problem, it almost seems like slutwalks encourage people to believe the myth.

e: Like I agree with the message don't get me wrong, I just feel like answering "well what was she wearing" criticism with "statistically you're just as likely to get raped wearing a frumpy sweater because most rapists know their victim in advance and it has nothing to do with what they were wearing at the time" is better than "it shouldn't matter what she's wearing" because even though the latter is 100% true there's still going to be people out there who don't think pointing out that the only reason a house got robbed was because the front door was left unlocked is victim blaming. I think the only things slutwalks really do is preach to the choir, it's not going to convince the people that are looking at the issue the wrong way in the first place.

Don't misunderstand; they still need validation (probably more so) but just not from randoms - from people they themselves think are attractive. A bunch of dudes on the street corner they don't give a poo poo about.

I think it's terrible these sluts can't even afford a decent shirt. Maybe like a windbreaker that zips down to perfectly in the middle of the cleavage, or just a classic flannel or a funny t-shirt with butts on it or something.

it's literally because cops and pundits are always saying that women get raped because they're inviting it with their clothing

hence a parade to combat that idea.
