History 

• The Slut Walks movement started in  2011 
• “I've been told I'm not supposed to say this. 
• Since the first walk in April of 2011 in Toronto there have been hundreds of slutwalks that happened in Canada, United States, Latin America, Europe, Australia, and Asia.  

Thesis

The slutwalk movement was successful with bringing awareness to rape culture and victium blaming. Even though the Slutwalks had good intentions it lacked in incorporating all races and ethnicities of women and for this reason the rhetoric of bringing “slut” back and revamping the term is not working for but against the movement. 

Preview

• I will be looking at three different sources through schemes and tropes, Parlem and Tyteca charts, fallacies, and rhetoric theories. The three sources that will be looked at today are the London Slutwalk advertisement poster, a protest sign, and a letter written from the Black Women blueprint to the Slutwalk movement. 

Credibility

• I am someone who has been in Vrooman class for the last few months in Vroomans class learning the different rhetorical schemes, fallacies, and concepts that gave me the ability to analis this social movement.

Conclusion

The Slutwalk movement has been instrumental in bringing awareness to rape culture and victium blaming. It started a conversation that women wanted and needed to have about their experience being sexually assaulted. The movement spread quickly and has continued to grow. However, it has yet to incorporate black women in their decision making leaving little to no space for them within the movement. The rhetoric of the term “slut” as much as they wanted to take control of the word and bring a new narrative to it failed to see how destructive this could be for women of all races and ethnicities who need to be incorporated in the movement for it to be fully successful. Growth for some women is not good enough anymore.
