Slut Walking, Slut Raping, and Slut Shaming

 

Watching the above-posted video, I am struck by the connection between the Slutwalk, and rape specifically. I get the impression that Slutwalk was founded as a "rape awareness" event, and that what they are really yelling about is that it is not okay to rape sluts.

Trouble is, the huge majority of people never said any such thing. So Slutwalk is based on a false premise and a gigantic non-issue. That is, it is intended to correct a situation that does not exist.

Yes, yes, I know that rape exists. It's just another crime among crimes, and the culture at large is overwhelmingly anti-rape. But that is not what I'm talking about here. I need to make that point extra, extra clear because the feminists will hijack and falsify the meaning of your speech every chance they get in order to construct their feminist narrative. That is how feminism rolls. So is it any wonder that feminists are so cordially despised by honest people everywhere?

On a separate note, the Slutwalkers have inflated the original Slutwalk mission to include a moral campaign against "slut shaming", which is a separate issue from slut raping. That is, when most people slut shame, it is because they feel it is shameful to be a slut.  They are certainly NOT saying it is permissible to rape a slut. But to hear the feminists talk, you would think that this is exactly what most people are saying. Count this as another example of how feminists hijack and falsify the meaning of other people's speech in order to construct their feminist narrative.

On a further separate note, it is always a treat to hear Gail Dines running her lying diarrhea mouth. I must give her credit, she's a wizard at what she does. And somebody else had a bit to say about Gail, which I found very much to the point. (Click to enlarge):

The problem with people like Gail Dines is, that it's humanly impossible to "unpack" their densely constructed discourse as rapidly as they can spray it out. So we are licensed to dismiss everything they say, and to refuse to engage any of  it.

Anyhow, I would like to hear the Slutwalk leaders address the specific point of "why it is okay to be a slut." I think it would be interesting to know their philosophical thinking upon that subject.
