Slut walk

What a fabulous title and what a fabulous idea in response to Toronto Police Const. Michael Sanguinetti who told a personal security class at York University on 24 January that "women should avoid dressing like sluts in order not to be victimized."

He was reprimanded and underwent "further training," Chief Bill Blair said. Blair called Const. Michael Sanguinetti "inexperienced," adding the officer uttered "something stupid and he's apologized."

The constable's comment sparked outrage, prompting more than 1,500 protesters to stage a "SlutWalk" Sunday from Queen's Park to police headquarters on College St.
"I don't think the officer meant any offence," added Blair.

The idea has apparently spread like wildfire with walks held in cities across America and Europe

(PS Michael is petrified that Sonya will join in if there is a Slut walk in London. I think she should join in just for that reason alone)
