SlutWalk June 4

Thousands of women are expected to descend on Trafalgar Square in central London for a SlutWalk on 4 June, with other events planned for Cardiff and Edinburgh, and possible meetings in other cities including Brighton and Birmingham.

The movement, organised largely through Facebook and Twitter, was sparked by a police officer in Toronto, who paid a visit three months ago to Osgoode Hall Law School to advise students on how to stay safe. He told the 10 students present: "I've been told I'm not supposed to say this – however, women should avoid dressing like sluts in order not to be victimised."

The comments were posted online and have provoked outrage, leading to events in more than 20 US states, plus Argentina, Australia, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden and the UK.

But not in the US where the Canadian prig’s comment reflects the current political morals climate.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
