For as long as I can remember, a slut was something dirty, without morals and essentially a woman who slept around? If someone calls you a slut β does it really reflect who you are, or who they are? What someone thinks of me has nothing to do with me, at all. Little girls get called sluts before they even know what sex is. But I don know it doesnt mean I should be sexually assaulted.
Grandmothers in their beds have been raped Guys in bathroom stalls have been raped Babies in their cot have been raped Prostitutes have been raped School girls and boys have been raped Your friend, your colleague, your brother, you sister, your mother, your uncle, your lecturer, the person at the next table, the girl in front of you at the bank, the TV star, the author, the housekeeper, the guy who fixes your car, the woman in a wheelchair you see at the coffee shop, the couple behind you at the cinema, the woman in her burka.
I could go on, but the point is rape sees no race, age, social status, upbringing, education etc β it is a violation to all. And none of them are to blame.
This shocked me to the very core. How can anyone deserve to be raped? So this is what the Slutwalk is about. Call me what you will, think of me what you will, but stop blaming me for being sexually assaulted. If I were a prostitute and sold my body, all rights are still reserved, and there is no reason for anyone to take that right away.
The way I am dressed does not mean I want to be raped. So please join me. Bring a poster, bring a smile and bring your support. For more information: www. Search for:. Stop the victim blaming! What is a slut? According to the dictionary definition: Dictionary. Sign in. Post comment. Newest Oldest.
