quote [ I simply held up a sign that said "There Is No Rape Culture In the West" -- and the reaction wasn't exactly positive.
My camera man was shoved, my sign was torn up and I was called a "bitch" (by other women.) So much for the SlutWalk being the "safe place" it had been promoted as. ] Hot topic and I see her point. I find some of there reactions especially at 4:20 to be an interesting point.

The cameraman was pushing his way into other people's personal space, after he was instructed not to. He was technically committing assault, and they were entirely within their rights to use reasonable force, such as a shove, to move him if he refused to do so under his own power.
She didn't, as far as I can tell (I'm not willing to sit through her entire incoherent rant) show footage of her sign being torn up, so it's reasonable to conclude she's lying about that.
She was interfering with a legitimate event, on private property, and received no more than a calm dressing down for her inappropriate behaviour.
Seems the slut walk is an exceedingly safe space, even for assholes.

She defends making rape jokes. Jokes are cultural, ergo rape jokes are quite literally "rape culture." She is herself the very definition of the thing she claims does not exist.
