:awe:
absolutely priceless!Vanessa White, 33, of Somerville, Mass., also heard about the event through Facebook and showed up with the Boston event dressed in a pink jacket and fishnet stockings.
For me ... its an attempt to reclaim the word slut itself, said White. Because once you reclaim it, you take the power away from it.
Before the march, a small group of counter protesters, wearing colorful cowboy hats with feathers and holding a boom box that played hip-hop and 1970s funk, walked around the gathering. Dubbed the PimpWalk, organizer Samuel Bilowski, 23, of Salem, N.H., said his group wanted to get some numbers and talk to attractive women.
This is a pathetic attempt at a joke, admitted Bilowski. Were just having fun.
Still, White and a group of other advocates surrounded Bilowski and his group and yelled the word slut repeatedly. Others verbally attacked Bilowski for glorifying violence against women.
Bilowskis group eventually joined the SlutWalk march around the Common.
Following Boston, SlutWalk marches are planned in cities including Seattle; New York; Chicago; Philadelphia; Reno, Nev.; and Austin, Texas.
