Australian sluts follow Canadian lead

Eric Frei · 29th May 2011, 09:18 AM

Well, what a controversy all stemming from a comment by a Canadian police officer that went like this:-

Quote:

Michael Sanguinetti—commented during the talk, “I know I am not supposed to say this, but if you really want to know how not to get raped don’t dress like a slut.”

And across the globe including Australia Slutwalks of protest have commenced.

Some of the newspaper comments:-

Quote:

Of course, Melbourne's SlutWalk did not live up to everyone's expectations. ''Can we touch them?'' asked bemused spectator Cameron Campbell-Smith, 19.

''Err. There aren't many good sluts,'' said his friend.

The issue is I assume that statistically sluts must be getting raped more, and they say it's not their fault or fair and police should stop blaming them for being the victim.

I have not really got to much to say about slutty dressing making people more of a target for rape as I do not believe any one should be forced to have sex regardless of the persons appearance or mental state. Rape is wrong!!...

I do all I can to ensure my 2 daughters do not dress like or behave like sluts. I would not consider any child to be proud to have a mother who is a slut.

What is wrong, what happens and why are all melded together. You cannot expect police to be standing on every street corner to save your slut ass if need be, diminishing attention is a viable tactic.

If I was in down town Baghdad I would want to blend (with the scenery) and wear a vest, If I was in town I would steer clear of the night spots at the wee hours to reduce the risk of sorting out some moron. If I was a female I would surely dress less provocatively if I was frequenting areas with little or no security to aid in my own self preservation. The sooner some realise that the world is not the free happy place we would ideally like it to be and take measured steps to help themselves the better off and safer they will be.
You walk out knowing that potentially your a target then your accepting the risk and not taking steps to mitigate it.
As for the perpetrators
