#5 SlutWalk

How do you define slut walk? A question Chloe and Ross Reynolds could not answer in their discussion among each other, because everyone has their own way of defining slutiness. Chloe responds to Reynolds "That everyone has their own idea and opinion of what it means and the real problem is the idea that slutiness causes rape, because slutiness doesn't cause rape." "Rapist cause rape." I have to say that I agree with Chloe and Reynolds, there really is no true definition for the word slut walk or slutiness. My opinion depends on how they dress, carry themselves, and act toward others. Where as my friends opinion may just be on what they are wearing. There is no true way of describing a slut in just one way. I also agree with Chloe about how rapist cause rape, however when it comes to a rapist picking a certain person to victimize they look for someone who's vulnerable, weak, putting themselves out there, someone wanting attention and most of all someone they can easily take advantage of. To me sluts are feminist who are dressing to show off improper parts of their body, feminist who are drawing attention to themselves and putting themselves out there for other human beings to look at. Yes! Rapist do the raping but the rapist have to have something that sets their victims out from everyone else. Something that draws them to their victims. I personally think that feminist should have more respect for their bodies and themselves than to dress and draw attention the way they do.
 Chloe also states "That slut shaming and victimizing is uncalled for and needs to stop." I could not say it any better than the way Chloe does. Slut shaming, dressing, slut walk, and most of all victimizing. It is all uncalled for and where as we can't really do much for how people act, dress, and carry themselves. We can do something about the rapist and victimizing and slut shaming that does goes on.
