Why I’m Going to the Miami Slut Walk:

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at FIU chapter.

 

1. Because I am tired of being shamed for showing some skin

2. Because I am tired of being called a wh*re, a slut etc. for wearing clothes that “distract boys”

3. Because I am tired of rape culture defending the perpetrator and blaming the victim

 

4. Because I am tired of people thinking that wearing too much or too little is an invitation for sex.

5. Because I am tired of people taking sexual advantage of individuals who are intoxicated.

6. Because I am tired of being called names if I don’t give a man the attention he wants

7. Because a yes is a yes and a no is a no. End of story.

8. Because I am tired of the media showing rapists sympathy who get time in jail for a crime they committed.

9. Because I don’t wear clothes for anyone’s pleasure but myself.

10. Because I am not an object owned by anyone else.

11. Because this is my body and I do what I want with it
