The rally was well organised, well attended (about 1500 people), peaceful, positive and fun. I expected there to be trolls but none were to be found &#8211; perhaps it&#8217;s easier to make abusive comments online. When faced with 1500 empowered &#8220;sluts&#8221; I&#8217;m sure they knew better than to say anything. Which is part of the point.<\/p>\n<p>This Slutwalk was organised by Ann Watson and Rory Killen from the Sex Party. Professor Alan McKee (co-author of the Porn Report and possibly the coolest Professor on the planet) spoke, as did Creatrix Tiara and Fiona Patten. We then marched through the city and ended cheerfully at a park by the river. Most people along the route were supportive, I thought.<\/p>\n<p>The whole thing was great. There was a real sense of atmosphere and comraderie there. The majority of attendees were young women but there were also plenty of guys which was wonderful. Given that it was May, not that many opted for full &#8220;slutwear&#8221;; most were just in their comfy jeans and t-shirts. No doubt the media were a little let down by that but a few lovely people got their freak on and that was fab too.<\/p>\n<p>I think an annual Slutwalk sounds like a very good idea. And part of me would like it to somehow morph into a kind of female sexy mardi gras, a way to celebrate sexuality in public similar to the Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras in Sydney. Maybe I will get my chance to wear a spangly bikini and ride a giant penis float after all.<\/p>\n<p>I filmed the event and will put the video on Youtube when it&#8217;s done. I&#8217;ll also be putting a longer movie and feature article in the member&#8217;s area at For The Girls.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, here&#8217;s a few small photos&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blogpics\/slutwalk10.jpg\" alt=\"Slutwalk\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blogpics\/slutwalk02.jpg\" alt=\"Slutwalk\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blogpics\/slutwalk03.jpg\" alt=\"Slutwalk\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blogpics\/slutwalk05.jpg\" alt=\"Slutwalk\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blogpics\/slutwalk06.jpg\" alt=\"Slutwalk\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blogpics\/slutwalk07.jpg\" alt=\"Slutwalk\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blogpics\/slutwalk08.jpg\" alt=\"Slutwalk\" \/><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday I attended the Slutwalk in Brisbane and had a fabulous time.
