Slut walk?

Check it out, some cop in Toronto said that women shouldn't dress like sluts so they won't get attacked.

Really interesting arguments.  How a woman dresses does not give someone else a right to attack them.  But you also shouldn't be stupid.  Sure, if you dress like a slut and hang around outside by yourself at night, you probably have a higher chance of being attacked.  But no matter what it is not the woman's fault.  The attacker makes the choice, and if they are out to attack someone, I have to think it doesn't matter what anybody is wearing.
