SEJA NA VERSÃO "BELLE DE JOUR", SEJA ENQUANTO DRª BROOKE MAGNANTI, NÃO HÁ MUITO MAIS GENTE A DAR USO TÃO INTELIGENTE À TOTALIDADE DO CORPO (do pescoço para baixo e do pescoço para cima)


Reparem, por exemplo, aqui:

To Slutwalk or not To Slutwalk?

"Technically, this is not a pressing concern for me, since I live far, far in the depths of the Scottish Highlands, in a very small village which boasts exactly one drinking establishment (staffed by our closest neighbour). With the odds of street attacks by anything other than an angry ground-nesting bird rather low, I imagine organising a Slutwalk in the West Highlands would be met with puzzlement and not a little confusion. (...) In principle, I support the notion of the Slutwalks. (...) Why is this worth bringing up? Simply because, with Slutswalks springing up here, there, and not-quite-everywhere in the UK, it seems a crucial founding message has been lost. That women should not be regarded as targets even if sex is their work.

Unfortunately, the version of Slutwalking that has come here seems only selectively interested in the original message... since most of the organisers, and most vocal participants in Slutwalks, are exactly the same people who turned up en masse outside London's new Playboy club to jeer women at work. (...) While gender solidarity in the face of differing opinion is no doubt a worthy concept, I found I was losing untold time and energy trying to explain to other women why I, too, should be regarded not only as an authentic woman with an authentic sexual self, but as a human being, full stop. There are feminists who dehumanise sex workers in a way that is sickening to read, and they are increasingly quoted by and respected in the mainstream. Sorry, ladies - ya lost me when you equated renting access to sexual favours with not having a brain, a free will, or an ability to discern real allies from real haters".
