Liz Jones's take on the London Slutwalk, writing for the
Daily Mail. Headed:
Class is the real problem, sisters - not slutty clothes
My Mum loves her column [gag].
This is from the end of the article, click on the hate Mail link above for pictures and descriptions as opposed to her opinion.
The slut walkers, with their black clothes and gothic make-up, are well educated and fiercely super-confident young women raised by middle-class mothers to expect everything they want from life. They take no prisoners.
They will glide through life, bossing their husbands and bosses, doing exactly as they please.
Quote:
... the brown, over-manicured young women who weren’t on yesterday’s march, who were half a mile away schlepping in and out of Primark and
H&M, might as well have been a million miles away. This demonstration was preaching to the converted.
We all know rape is bad, don’t we? But the other women, the working-class women who have only been taught to shop till they drop will, if not be raped, put up with low-paid jobs and expectations, domestic abuse, bad relationships, debt.
Because what these women are lacking is self-belief, a quality the slut walkers have in droves. There is no sisterhood between these two groups, none.
The super-confident sluts should have been demonstrating outside Topshop, and marching down Oxford Street.
Now that would have been something.
