Slut Walk Announcement
SLUT WALK: A MARCH TO END RAPE CULTURE
Wednesday, April 15th @ 4:30pm
Starting at Arts and Sciences Building
Wear whatever you like! Bring your friends!
What is a Slut Walk?
A Slut Walk is a protest against explanations or excuses for rape and sexual assault. The goal of the March is to challenge rape myths, including the idea that rape is a response to women’s attire or appearance. It is a call to end the rape culture that permits, excuses, and condones sexual assault.
The protest takes the form of a march where some individuals are dressed in “slutty” or provocative attire. Participants typically hold signs that challenge rape myths (e.g. of a rape myth: "women who wear short skirts are asking for it") and promote ideas of sexual consent (e.g., "no means no” or, even better, “yes means yes”). The goal is to raise awareness and challenge ideologies that permit sexual assault, victim blaming, and slut shaming.

Class #17: Monday, April 6, 2015: ASSIGNMENT POST: In-formal Writing #7
INFORMAL WRITING #7: Read the attached articles (Please consider following the links embedded within each article as these subsequent articles will only serve to heighten your understanding of this complicated issue). Then, in a structured argument, answer all or some of the following questions:
Do you agree or disagree with the rules of sexual conduct, as outlined in Salon through California State legislation, and further expounded in the editorial about Philly colleges in Philadelphia Magazine article, that are being changed by college campuses?
Do you think such changes to interpretations of law will help curb sexual crime? Are students, especially women, in need of such slanted laws in order to protect them? Is this interpretation biased, unfair and legally dangerous for men?
What role(s) do(es) drinking play in this? Are campuses ignoring the root of the problem in terms of addressing drinking/parties? How does this relate to the points raised by the blogger from The Nation? Please feel free to provide some personal evidence using Stockton as your basis.
Synthesis on these articles should culminate in a specific claim about sex, law, rape, gender and college campuses. In other words, you should take a side(s) on one of the concepts discussed and turn it into a thesis.
Please provide exemplary moments from both works. Your paper should have a works cited page that incorporates at least two of the articles. At least one of the articles must be directly quoted. Also, feel free to integrate evidence from ANOTHER SOURCE not mentioned here to provide insight on your argument.
