SlutWalk date is set
Last week, I reported a "SlutWalk" was underway in Milwaukee, and recently, it was announced the march to raise awareness about sexual assault is set for Saturday, Aug. 20 at noon in Bay View's Humboldt Park.
This gives you plenty of time to un-crumple your fishnets, fire up your hot pants, sign up for body enhancements – whatever it takes to prepare for what is, all joking aside, the chance to make the point that no matter what a woman wears, she does not deserve to be raped.

Hi Molly, Back in June of 2007, you blogged: "The Pabst crowd was a fascinating mix of average music fans, bearded men with their wives and slews of yarmulke-wearing young boys, a half dozen of whom Matisyahu pulled on stage at the height of the show for a pogo-stick version of "Ring Around the Rosie" and the chance to sing a long while pounding their fists towards the ceiling. It was undoubtedly the most skin-tingling moment of Jewish pride I have ever witnessed." At the time I first read that paragraph, I was thrilled to have help create that moment. The boys were taken by me to the concert in lieu of one of them, my son Daniel Gaudynski, having a tenth birthday party. Danny is now 14 and will be be playing with local musician Saadyah Tzvi at the Miramar on Lag B'Omer. Here's a preview at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sa2T1DgmDHo&feature=related . The last few minutes are Dan and his friend Avi rehearsing with Saadyah. Hope see you there, JoAnne Gaudynski

While it's a good and worthy point to make, make it all you like. But remember, you're preaching to the choir. The animals who have the proclivity to rape who eye your goods from a shadowy alley, care less than nothing about any point that you wish to make. Thus for those who need to hear it the most, the walk will fall on deaf ears. Rather than being effective, this effort may needlessly place girls in harm's way by foolishly emboldening them to think that it's safe to wear whatever they want, whenever they want, whereever they want. It isn't. It's not fair. It's not right. But it's reality.
