A quick report on a demonstration I went to last Sunday... already a week has flown by since I attended Slutwalk Hamilton. I was a bit hesitant about attending, I suppose because of the terminology. However, I went, and found it to be a very dynamic and political rally and march. As I have been on so so so many political marches, it felt very familiar to attend. I felt somewhat nostalgic and very happy to be there.
The main message, loud and clear, was that women have a right to wear what they want, when they want; they should never be raped or sexually assaulted because of what their clothing.
My other thoughts, once I returned to my suburban neighbourhood, was that the suburbs are not political places. That is one reason I feel kind of fish out of waterish there - I am a political person, and there is not a whole heck of alot of political organizing going on.

Hey, you are close to Hamilton? Cool. Well, okay, Hamilton is never cool. But neat to see someone from my neck of the woods.
