'Slutwalk' Protest Against NYPD In Union Sq.

[Me.]

Not a good week for the NYPD

'Slutwalk' protest hits Union Sq. day after NYPD warns women to cover up in B'klyn”

“A day after it was revealed that the NYPD is warning Brooklyn women to keep themselves covered up amidst a series of sex attacks in the borough, hundreds of scantily clad ladies took to the streets to change the perception that rape victims bring upon the violence by the way they dress.

Nearly 1,000 women flaunted their bodies and chanted in protest at today's SlutWalk in Union Square, a grassroots movement to fight the notion that showing skin is an invitation to assault.

"No means no - however we dress, whereever we go!" the demonstrators shouted out as they marched.

"The cops in Park Slope have really stepped up their presence and they're trying to be helpful," organizer Sammy Lifson, 21, said. "But to focus on women isn't going to help catch the perpetrator."

1. I hope this catches on

Faulting the victim = fail

Also, attempting to push absurd cultural points by fear = fail

2. Male cops

need to educate other males about being respectful of women.

funny that male cops are known for domestic violence.

3. the cops insulted both women and men.

Women, for saying wearing small clothing invites rape, and they also insulted men by proclaiming that men are motivated by tiny clothing to rape women.

Well, I hope thousands of women take part in this scantily-clad march, but I also hope thousands of men also observe the marchers and thereby demonstrate they are not uncontrollably urged to rape them.

4. They are awfully sensitive in NY

They asked for advice -- and they got some. I don't see the problem. The cops didn't say the women were sluts. Maybe the NY ladies are naturally sensitive.

5. I'm Guessing You Aren't Familiar With The "She Was Asking For It" Defense

Victims are often subjected to. You know she had to be a slut, tramp, prostitute, morally loose, my God look at the way she was dressed, she was practically asking for it.

6. They are angry about being blamed for someone elses crime.
