SlutWalk NYC Protests Rape Culture and Sexual Violence

Well, that would have been some protest.

Check the minimalist homepage at SlutWalk NYC. And at Socialist Worker (where else?), "Join us at SlutWalk in New York City."

And the report at London's Daily Mail, "Scantily-clad 'slutwalk' women march on New York after police tell them to 'cover up' to avoid rape."

Protesters dressed in their underwear have taken to the streets of New York today after it emerged the NYPD were warning women in Brooklyn to cover up in the face of sex attacks.

The latest 'slutwalk' protest comes a day after women in Park Slope were warned short skirts should not be worn and shorts that show too much leg have been deemed inappropriate.

On today's march the protesters chanted 'No means no - however we dress, wherever we go.'
This protest was in addition to Occupy Wall Street, which occupied the Brooklyn Bridge for a bit today, with 100s of arrests.

    There is a part of me who wants to yell, "PLEASE PUT IT BACK ON." At least the Victoria Secret ads have beautiful women in them.
    This reminds of the woman who once she had one drink started to take her clothes off and every body in the club was yelling, "Put them back on." It is becoming droll.
