If you missed the inaugural SlutWalk Burlington last Saturday (we did because we don’t like to get wet), here’s what it looked like, courtesy of Fed Up Vermont, the organization that coordinated the march. No word on how many folks braved the rain to come out and rally for women’s sexual rights (including the right to not be blamed for your own rape), but it looks like they had a good turnout despite the weather. Kudos, sluts! Keep on SlutWalking!

Oh ouch Mike, that was kind of harsh. Ok, Sluts are Awesome !!! I love sluts. We good?
ODUM, give it up with JCARTER and others, they clearly can’t see the forest from the trees. JCARTER is the exact definition of an internet/blog troll. I see his ignorant comments in almost every Seven Days article, and not just one comment but multiple… Go back to your cave JCARTER!Furthermore, these gatherings (SlutWalks) are not just a Burlington, VT phenomenon due to what one Toronto officer said. These issues are global and these gatherings are happening throughout North American, coast-to-coast, because of the issue of blaming the victim. Men and the police need to take their heads out of their a$$ and try to understand the issue. Here are some instances of police blaming the victim:http://www.excal.on.ca/news/dont-dress-like-a-slut-toronto-cop/http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2044213/Slutwalk-women-march-New-York-NYPD-tell-cover-avoid-rape.htmlI'm not going to attempt to educate the ignorant, but for those who want to know the rationale behind these protests and are hopeful for a society founded in equality I encourage you to educate yourself and others to end the violence against women.Cheers!
Hahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!… oh, sorry JCarter – was that another one of your “jokes?” Hard to tell – maybe you should use some kind of code to help us out, so we know what’s funny and what isn’t.
Amazing. Anyways, if Odum wants to go through life getting all bent out of shape at everything so be it. Have fun with that, although it does make it pretty much impossible to enjoy anything with a huge stick up your ass. But maybe you get used to it, likely a consequence of spending your entire day building straw men.
right and wrong. Men should not rape women. It’s wrong and against the law. So is…drinking and driving, murder, stealing..do we have parades for murder, dui, burglary…no we don’t. They are only dressed like sluts because of one Toronto policeman. who gives a rats azz? Have a parade. Have another. Parades are fun!
