First, I asked him to take 99 (we were in North Seattle going to Belltown) but he insisted that I-5 was faster. It wasn't. We arrived AFTER our friends who were in a second cab and left the same time as we did. He wildly weaved through traffic on the freeway, never used his turn signal once and narrowly avoided running down two bike cops downtown while coming to a very abrupt stop after illegally changing lanes.
I chose to do the responsible thing and take a cab because I had been drinking, but I'm pretty sure I could have driven safer while drunk than that cab driver did. I really should have gotten his Cab number and called the company to report him. Cab drivers around here can be crazy!

My point was to say that instead of trying to reclaim a word that already has such a bad meaning, we should as women, try to come up with a positive word for a woman who is open and confident about her sexuality.
Please do not accuse others of being close minded before you really listen to what they are saying. I chose not to attend the event not because I was close minded or disagreed with the message, but because I disagreed with the way the message was being executed.

But I do have to say that as a young woman who frequents the bar scene, I know what I'm doing when I wear a sexy dress and super high heels. Does that mean that because I choose to dress in a certain manner sometimes that I deserve to be raped or assaulted? ABSOLUTELY NOT. But, on the other hand, do I get super offended when I catch a man staring a bit too long? Not really. I am confident in what I wear and if I really didn't want any attention drawn to myself, I would choose to wear a more conservative outfit. My only real complaint about gawking comes when it's 7:15 AM and I'm standing at the bus stop in my office clothes (slacks and a blouse or a nice, more conservative dress and stockings with lower heels) and I get cat-called or honked at. Dude, come on... I'm at a bus stop. It's 7:15 in the morning.... leave me alone, grrr.
Either way, I think the way we view women in our current culture does need to be re-examined, but I think holding a "Slut Walk" may not be the best way to initiate this conversation.
