Iowa Wonder How Slutty It Will Get

Good for these ladies! I hope they have a good turnout and bring attention to a good cause.

The University of Iowa's Feminist Majority Leadership Alliance will be holding a protest march starting at 6 p.m. on Thursday.
Dubbed "SlutWalk Iowa City," the group is gathering feminists, college students, victims and advocates to march in order to "challenge the silent underpinnings of a hypersexualized western society, a notion that sexual assault has as much to do with the victim as the assailant," according to a news release.
It's bogus to treat the victim like they deserved the assault by wearing a short skirt or show some cleavage.  That a woman's wardrobe excuses a rapist is unforgivable territory.  It's good to see young women remember and spread that knowledge.  "He couldn't control himself because of her choice in clothing" has actually worked.
