Killer Pussy
Choosing Scumbag of the day
As usual there are so many scum bags to choose from Uncle Al Was having a hard time then he came upon SLUTWALK 2011. This, he thought, had the potential for a tremendous amount of scum but you may be surprised at what Al’s investigation uncovers.
There was a time AL would have been all-in for anything that had the word "slut" in it. Ask any guy his view on promiscuity and you are likely to get very similar answers until you run into a gentleman who has an adolescent daughter. A man's view of the world changes drastically once his little princess is in the equation. What is interesting is it became immediately apparent SlutWalk was originally organized for very different reasons than to promote promiscuity.
It’s no secret the winters are long and cold up in Canada but what is not well known is the extreme cold must kill brain cells faster than smoking Angel Dust.
One of the first exhibits evidencing this affliction came when a Toronto Police officer was giving a speech at York University and told women if they wanted to be safe from sexual assaults they should: “Stop dressing like sluts.” This added fuel to the fire sparked by Winnipeg Justice Robert Deward’s remarks following a sexual assault trial when he commented that the victim's: “Clothing and flirtatious behavior were partly to blame for the attack,” then he called the defendant a: “clumsy Don Juan” and noted the victim wore " a tube top, high heels and plenty of makeup.”
In heinous crimes of sexual assault blaming the victim is never acceptable, and castration or execution may be viable, effective options for those convicted, but the pressing issue for us is who most deserves to be Scumbag of the day? The cop? The judge? How about the organizers of this event who when presented with an outstanding opportunity to build a positive platform for this issue choose the name “SlutWalk”? Organizers said they want to combat the negative meaning of the word ‘slut.’ Webster’s defines slut as: “a slovenly or promiscuous woman (and I am adding man here).” Slut = promiscuous / easy sex and but this event was founded on the idea that a person should not fear the crime of rape or sexual assault regardless of how they dress. Even AIDS prevention advocates have understood the message and kept their distance. How did this sound cause get derailed? A logical mind would realize those who commit sexual crimes are not going to heed the memo that the definition of slut has changed; so what good was this march, to make people feel better about their sluttyness? While pondering this I saw that the Boston SlutWalk was being held on May 7th and figured I would attend to see for myself. If nothing else it would be an excellent opportunity for some exercise, in fact with the nice weather coming I was getting psyched so I looked up the route: “Walk from Government Center to Boston Common at noon.” Huh? You can almost spit on the Common from Government Center! What kind of march is that? Less than a half-mile? Yup hands down today’s winner is the Organizers!
Post script: I'm still going with a tee shirt that reads - Front: "It shouldn't be this Easy to be Hard" Back: "Who assassinated Romance?" - Dare me?
