tw: rape

commiekinkshamer:

i have no problem with pointing out that anyone of any gender can be an abuser, rapist, pedophile etc because that’s absolutely true.

but the problem with always emphasizing “yes but it happens to everyone, not just women (or people of colour, or trans* people, etc)!” is that it depoliticizes the issue.

violence is not an accident, it is reflective of social power relations that permeate society at every level

Check out our FAQ

You want to “reclaim” the word slut? To mean what? How can you reclaim something you never had in the first place? 

Reappropriating/reclaiming “slut” is not the goal of SlutWalk - ending victim-blaming and slut-shaming is. Reappropriation is one of many viable tactics; a means to an end. We want to reappropriate “slut” as a positive term for a person of any gender who has and enjoys frequent sex, especially with multiple partners. Reappropriating “slut” serves three primary functions: it takes away the word’s power to do harm as a pejorative (one of the best ways to fight hate is to embrace and disarm the words employed by the haters); provides a sex-positive term for women, few of which exist (like “stud” is for men - many women find that reclaiming “slut” gives them a voice that they have lacked in similar movements); and allows “sluts” to identify as part of a cohesive group for political representation. A list of examples of reappropriated words can be found here. Reappropriation is not the only way to fight oppression. It isn’t even the best way. We don’t claim it is. SlutWalk would fail without the invaluable contributions of other protests like Take Back the Night, as well as education and legal reform. Not all women will want to reclaim “slut” for themselves, but we hope they will support their sisters who do. As with any reappropriated word, you should never use “slut” without explicit permission from the subject first, and that permission can be revoked at any time.

A few of my favorite Take Back The Night chants

fucknorapeculture:

  • Sexist, racist, anti-queer/ You won’t make us live in fear
  • Sexist, racist, anti-gay/ Don’t you take our night away
  • I have no fear, no shame, no time/ My beauty is whole, my body is mine
  • Survivors unite/Take back the night
  • Yes means yes/No means no/ Whatever we wear/Wherever we go
  • Stop the violence/End the silence

and my personal favorite:

  • Bitch, slut, dyke, whore/We won’t take it anymore
