Message from Slutwalk LA: Slut Means WE Choose
Every human being should have autonomy over his/her own body, and be free from sexual assault. Whether one is a p0rn star or an altar boy, a college co-ed or serving in the US military, whether one has flirted, has had a few drinks, is dressed like a “slut,” or all of the above, no one deserves be to sexually assaulted, and no one should be blamed or made to feel ashamed for being assaulted.
