BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!
SlutWalk Denver 2013 has been changed to July 6th at 12pm, Civic Center Park!
Mark your calendars and tell your friends!
SlutWalk Denver aims to to provide a safe space for survivors and allies to come together to voice their collective anger, share stories, build a community, and become empowered to continue to change the conversation around sexual assault (locally and globally) from blaming and shaming victims to holding assaulters accountable.
SlutWalk Denver welcomes everyone of all genders, races, classes and backgrounds. If we are failing to be inclusive, please let us know how to be more inclusive.

"Slut-shaming collapses the complexity of another person onto a single dimension. But even more so, given how slut-shaming is used to control and shame all women regardless of their sexual practices or desires, it conflicts directly with respecting them. If you say that you respect women, then you need to respect all women, no matter how many sexual partners she has, her relationship choices, or how she enjoys sex. Otherwise, you’re saying that that your respect is something that someone has to buy. I don’t think that that’s really respect at all."
If You Don’t Respect Sluts, You Don’t Respect Women

If you say that a woman wearing revealing clothes deserves to be sexually assaulted, you are saying that a woman’s body is inherently deserving of rape. That women are inherently deserving of rape. That women have to make sure their body is hidden in order not to deserve to be raped. That is misogyny in its purest form.
*TW* victim blaming, slut shaming, rape apologism, rape culture, rape

“she’s such a slut” = i fear the way you express yourself so ill degrade your worth until you stop
I love this sign because it doesn’t just apply to white women, it applies to Women of Color too! With white women anyone who breaks the laws of “purity” and has the audacity to control her own decisions about her sexuality is a slut and that’s because people fear the fact that she’s in control, they fear her sexuality existing in a way that isn’t owned and operated by a man (preferably her husband) which is the only way it’s acceptable for a white woman’s sexuality to exist at all. Meanwhile for Women of Color the fact that they can, will, and do reproduce, creating more and more People of Color forever and ever is what causes racist/white supremacist assholes to fear their sexuality. This fear is based upon the potential fruit of that sexuality - children - which is why all Women of Color are automatically sluts no matter what they do or how they act. Every Woman of Color has the potential to reproduce so even if she’s not even sexually active there is an inherent fear of her sexuality which makes her a slut regardless of her personal choices and behaviors.
