The international SlutWalk movement started in Toronto after a police officer speaking in January about campus safety at York University said women should avoid dressing like “sluts” to avoid being raped. Since then, cities like Boston, Chicago and Hamilton have also hosted SlutWalks.
Few cities would seem to need a SlutWalk as much as New Delhi does. One quarter of all the rapes that occurred in India last year were reported in New Delhi. While 189 rape complaints were filed in the larger city of Mumbai in 2010, New Delhi had 489, up from 459 a year earlier, according to police statistics.

Despite all the hype over the slut walk, I believe that this is nothing but a tamasha from the stable of misguided feminists who are desperate to have an issue to create a lot of noise. We have grown up with feminism over the last 30 years and have witnessed the gradual decay and decadence of feminism over the years.
ReplyDeleteWomen who expose themselves do it to attract attention and specially the male gaze.That is the truth that we cannot turn our self from.It is this innate desire which leads a woman to dress in a manner so that her wares can be displayed for the male attention and she feels that it "empowers" her. But mind you, despite all the rhetoric about "empowerment", what she actually ends up doing is affirming the belief that women are mere sex objects and her so called "empowerment" is her capability to attract male attention not by her intelligence, ability or achievements but by depicting herself as a sex object. In fact she herself sees herself as a sex object.
Women, when they are among themselves do not feel the necessity to dress provocatively. This was reinforced from the fact that a decade ago, their were emergence of "women only clubs" and it was gradually found that the women attending were not keen to wear make-up or provocative dresses in those get-together and slowly these meetings became drab and faded away.
Further, is it not interesting to analyse as to why men do not feel the need to dress provocatively or skimpily? It is simply because they do not deem themselves as sex objects who have to garner female attention by displaying their physical attributes and sexual charm.They instead display their financial abilities etc. Hence, it can not be cried down that women themselves believe that they are sex objects and want to "empower" themselves by strutting their sexual charms for men exclusively.
Feminism has lost it's direction and the younger generation is being misled.
