World Naked Bike Ride Participants signing waivers...These brave women were two in 8000 reported bikers who "bared as they dared" to help get out the word about saving fossil fuel! If it takes a little T&A to wake up the world, I am all for it.
July 31th Slutwalk will be held in Portland,Oregon. The group has been organizing walks to fight against police brutality in Canada against women. I do hope that they have a big turn out here in Portland.
To read more about it Google Slutwalk! It will prove to be yet another Portland coup for keeping Portland the progressive town we all cherish. Photos to come.
If it takes Naked Bike Ride and Slutwalks to get people stop texting and start paying attention to what people have to say...then success is a matter of mobilizing ala Portland.
The SlutWalk protest marches began on April 3, 2011 in Toronto, Canada and have since become an international movement of rallies across the world.[1] They are a protest against the belief that any aspect of a woman's appearance might explain or excuse rape.[2] The rallies began in response to remarks made by Constable Michael Sanguinetti, a Toronto Police officer, who suggested that in order not to be victimized, "women should avoid dressing like sluts."[3][4] The protest take the form of a march, by mainly young women, where some dress in ordinary clothing, and others dress provocatively; there are also speaker meetings and workshops.[5] Such protests have not been universally accepted as appropriate; for example some objectors have remarked that this approach is an example of women defining their sexuality in male terms.
