Last night on Fetlife I saw that Angel had signed up for a "Slutwalk" in June. I had heard of Slutwalks - but have never been on one,
I have never been raped.
I have never had my consent violated.
BUT I have talked with women who have been raped
And I read more and more articles on FetLife about consent violation.
I am a protester from way back ........ hell I grew up during the Vietnam war - make love not war and flower children and burning your bra. (yeah yeah most of you will probably have to google all that)
But I stopped protesting a long time ago
Something about this protest caught my attention. OH I have heard about them in previous years - but I never did anything - it seemed to me something the young kids did.....
This time I realized there are no age limits on rape or consent violation. and there are still men out there who honestly believe that the way a woman dresses indicates her consent! Hell there was some bright spot on Fetlife a while ago who actually posted (I couldn't believe it) that women "ask for it" when they dress a certain way....
So yeah - I'm gonna make a sign -- I rather like the one above - and find my slutty-ist clothes (ok ok stop laughing Angel I know that will be a stretch!!) and go join a protest march in June........
Obviously there are still laws and attitudes to change!!
