Nashville Feminist Activist

A rather well-known Nashville resident marched in the local SlutWalk. She had this to say about women who had been sexually violated or taunted.

"The person that is victimized should not feel guilty. There should not be a stigma attached to them, and they should be okay raising their head and saying, ‘That was not right. I want to do something about it," said Candice Raines.

I have written about Candice Raines several times before. It is the real name of Ginger Lee. Remember when people were saying that Raines was seeking fame her her online involvement with Anthony Weiner. There is no mention of Raines' stage name in the article. Raines gave her real name. Most likely not to have the media have another Ginger Lee story.

People didn't believe Raines was serious when she said progressive and feminist issues were important to her. Yet she marches in SlutWalk. I wrote that the media was unfair in its coverage of Raines. There is zero chance that the media will revise their coverage. And it is a damn shame.

SlutWalk in Tampa

Via Stogie: Feminist activists held a SlutWalk rally in Tampa on September 17, 2011. SlutWalk has been held around the country to raise awareness about rape. The message of the rallies is women are not asking to be raped. This shouldn't have to be stated in 2011, but there are pundits and conservative bloggers who will say the woman was "asking for it."

I have a problem with the video of the Tampa SlutWalk rally. I hate the the Nelly Furtado song "Promiscuous." Nicole Parker brilliantly parodied the song on MadTV. The song is mind-numbingly stupid and worthy of ridicule.

Teagan Alexander spoke at the Tampa SlutWalk event. Her Youtube video "My Dress Is NOT A Yes!" informs men that the way a woman dresses is not an invitation to rape. Alexander was raped.
