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.

How many people does it take regarding "women as a commodity, or somehow 'asking for it' by appearance or behavior" for it to become a cultural item vs an issue that needs to be addressed towards the small minority of people that view them that way. Hockey is a Canadian culture. I don't think rape is a Canadian culture. Rape is an issue that we as a culture are working stopping but it in no way is part of our definition as a country or people.
