Comments on: Edmonton Slut Walk fights back against victim blaming https://westedmontonlocal.ca/2011/06/edmonton-slut-walk-fights-back-against-victim-blaming/ News, information and conversation from the west end Sat, 17 Mar 2012 02:02:09 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Katie https://westedmontonlocal.ca/2011/06/edmonton-slut-walk-fights-back-against-victim-blaming/#comment-2570 Katie Tue, 07 Jun 2011 19:32:41 +0000 https://westedmontonlocal.ca/?p=5066#comment-2570 Not to excuse rape in any way, but has anyone been to the bar lately? Young girls serving alcohol wearing just underwear and a bra to attract more attention from men and encourage drink sales. Stop dressing scandalous and you wont get unwanted attention. Of course any person who commits rape or sexual assault should be put behind bars. Have a little self respect for yourself and stop dressing so trashy and you prevent yourself from being in a horrible situation. Its an invitation to be exploited. There is a right time and place for nudity and many of these girls need some sense knocked into them. Not to excuse rape in any way, but has anyone been to the bar lately?

Just a shot in the dark but maybe the police should be getting sarcastic and angry with the prosecutors and judges that keep letting these rapists free. That is what is causing them the work. Not what the girls are wearing. If none of dress a certain way, buy any electronics for our homes, never own a vehicle and stay away from ATM's so as not to carry cash. Well the police would be able to really do a good job. The walk should have went downtown with the city agreeing to not only pay for but to donate the $2000 permit fee for womens groups. They will regret this one come election time. Unbelievasble that in this day and age there are such attitudes to still be found on the police departments.

Seems to kind of be missing the point. I can’t help but notice the “Stephen Mandel is A Slut” sign. Seems to kind of be missing the point.
