Summary: Misty Kingma reports from the West Hollywood Slut Walk, one of several international events aimed at fighting back against the idea that women are to blame when they're sexually assaulted.

PS---Do you hate the concept of a 'Slut Walk'? Slut Walk LA organizer Hugo Schwyzer (see video) responds to critics in this blog:

1. K&R!

2. Fail.

I agree with Dines and Murphy.

Very few perjoratives can actually be "reclaimed".

slut is an ugly word and just because a small subset of people

use it in "reclamation" mode, whatever the fuck that may be,

it doesn't mean it "works" in the larger world.

3. Let's hear it for the SLUTS! yay

4. Well...

these girls are proving one thing. SLUT CLOTHS and SLUTS do exist - so what's the big deal. So there is such
a thing as dressing like a, "SLUT"!

So, the moral is - don't dress like a slut and stir up the crazies who can' handle it. Cop was right.
