Toronto "Slut Walk"

There's a ready made Fark headline, but I digress.

I blogged several weeks ago about this incident, where a member of law enforcement told women at a personal security class that "women should avoid dressing like sluts in order not to be victimized". Well I'm not the only woman who found it highly offensive. Hence the "Slut walk" in Toronto.

I hope it drew a lot of attention and make people realize that blaming the victim is not helpful. Not to the victim who blames herself, not to the perpetrator who will likely continue perpetrating this type of behaviour.
