Reclaiming The Word “Slut” I have loved watching this SlutWalk phenomenon sweep the planet. I love it for a lot of reasons. I love anything that brings the discussion of people’s sexual individuality and autonomy to the forefront. And I love costumes, so there’s that.

That “turned on” feeling of wanting to think more, talk more, do more, get more done, because I was just reminded that I CAN.

Acquaintance Rape: Who You Know Can Hurt  You. Whether you know it or not, you know a survivor of acquaintance rape. Sometimes called “date rape,” this is a real and common problem in our society. Acquaintance rape happens between people who know each other, which sometimes makes it very complicated and difficult to believe by many people, including the victim themselves. After all, our friends and acquaintances are not rapists, are they?
