The SlutWalk protest marches began on April 3,
2011 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Participants protest against explaining or
excusing rape by referring to any aspect of a
woman's appearance.
“No one is a slut. “Slut” is a made-up word to
keep women from having as much fun as men. A
person who enjoys sex is just a person and a
person who is a virgin is also just a person and
everyone should lay off each other’s sex lives.
Retire the word “slut” please.”
