Guardian Readers\' responses to \'Slutwalk\' marches - 0 views

  • On the wider point of reclaiming the word "slut" – language is an entirely valid arena for activism and is in no way a "waste of precious feminist resources". Language is dynamic and the use, subversion, reclaiming and disclaiming of it is hugely important to liberation.But I dislike the passive approach to language that some take: that there are words that we should cower away from because of their strength, saturation and history. I have power over language as well and I'm going to use it.

    Many of the points made offer interesting debate, particularly the comment by 'NaomiMc' regarding language.
