Thousands of women are to take to the streets of London in revealing outfits next month as the global SlutWalk phenomenon reaches Britain. A Canadian policeman who told women to stop dressing like 'sluts' to avoid being raped sparked the worldwide protest movement that could see more than 5,000 women march through the capital. Thousands of members of SlutWalk have already marched in cities across the U.S and Canada to display anger at Pc Michael Sanguinetti's comments, made in a health and safety talk to students at Osgoode Hall Law School in Toronto. Outrage: Comments from a Canadian police officer that women should 'avoid dressing like sluts' to protect themselves from rape sparked SlutWalk protests worldwide Outrage: Global protest group SlutWalk was set up in response to comments from a Canadian police officer suggesting that women should 'avoid dressing like sluts' to protect themselves from rape He reportedly told the group: 'You know, I think we're beating around the bush here. I've been told I'm not supposed to say this. However, women should avoid dressing like sluts in order not to be victimised.' Pc Sanguinetti later apologised and was disciplined, but remains in his role within the police force. Following his remarks, made in April, women across the globe joined the SlutWalk Facebook page in their droves, sparking protests in Toronto and Boston as well as other cities across the U.S.

Did they march in front of a mosque?

If not, they are cowards.

Thanks for the warning, but I was foolish; I assure everyone that it is NOT WORTH IT. The Daily Mail does have OTHER good pix, though.

It’s probably ugly and awful because they are all fat or elderly leftists. But the point is actually a good one.

The police should not blame women for being raped simply because the women in question were not wearing burkas or chadors, were not covering their eyes or even their necks and elbows, or were simply out in public without a family-member male escort. Sound familiar? Honor killing, anybody?

But strangely enough, I bet when Bambi announces himself to be the Grand Mufti and Islam is imposed on all of us, these women will be the first to shroud themselves in bags of black polyester.

Well, there's a grain of truth in his remarks, though. I have always dressed in long skirts and demure tops, and I have lived in a lot of places. Currently, I walk through some of the most graffiti-laden, gang-infested areas of Los Angeles... I ride public transport, and I'm usually alone. No one ever bothers me. Ever.

People act like the minute you tell a woman not to walk around in fish-net and a thong, you're suggesting the burkah. That's nonsense. You get treated pretty much in accordance with how you present yourself, and that is just common sense.

He reportedly told the group: 'You know, I think we're beating around the bush here."

Literally. What a double entendre!

Advising women to be prudent is not the same as blaming them for rapes.

The culmination of feminism. How ladylike.

Would you really want to marry one of these “women”? And the baggage that comes along with her?

Exactly.

But it’s also good advice. Try not to look like a whore. Try not to look like you’re giving it away for free.

There ought to be a stigma for being a slut. Women should be offended to be thought of by others as a slut. Back-asswards world.
