    I can see their point, what the guard said was ridiculous. Reminds me of that case in Listowel where the man who had allegedly attacked a woman was supported by the community because he had a reputation as being a good man, and she had a reputation for "getting around".

    How you dress, or even your enjoyment of casual sexual encounters or whatever else, has no bearing on your basic human rights with regard to protection and saftey.

    I'm not sure what to make of how they went about it though... Slut walk? I don't know about the people that attended that over there, but I know a lot of people that would go to that walk for the fancy dress element. =/

    I suppose they're raising awareness of what was said and how unacceptable it was though.

    Lots of people there were dressed "normal" or just some cleavage. Leave it to North American press to find the most ridiculous attention grabbing people to film lol

    The comments left on the vid are......crazy to read. Especially comments from other women saying others deserve it because of their clothes.

    In fairness, Youtube comments? The absolute dregs of the internet? 75% of them are trolling and 75% of them are idiots (there's a lot of crossover)
