I didn't read the whole thread, but I think dressing like a skank and walking around doesn't prove anything or empower anyone.

I don't think the slut-walk was an especially good idea
but it's being done to prove a very valid point. No means no, whether you're wearing a skirt that shows off your arse, or a bra instead of a top. It's derogatory to men as well as women

Actually I think it's a very good idea
as it's actually prompted the debate, if they had just had a march then it wouldn't have got that much attention.

I didn't think it was a good idea
not because I disagreed with the concept, but because seeing me wobbling along would've invalidated the point

Most of the women on the march
weren't actually dressed "sluttily" though.

A couple of friends went on it
but that's all I know. Haven't been reading the papers recently

You know. They have a point.
Plenty of men walk around topless but you don't see them getting raped, do you?
