Who are you calling a slut?

I met with my cousin and two of my aunts earlier today, and my younger female cousin has some quite strong feminist views and today they held the SlutWalk in London. Obviously as she was in Kingston, she wasn't up in London, and I pretty much asked her why she wasn't there. Obviously that was because I expected her to support something like that (and I think she does), but ... it would have been easy for anyone to think I meant something else! (Like someone who's never heard of the event and the history behind it.)

I never liked the whole SlutWalk concept, but that's one reason I hadn't thought of, until today, why it's a bad idea.
