SlutWalk is a transnational movement [1] calling for an end to rape culture , including victim blaming and slut shaming of sexual assault victims. Subsequent rallies have occurred globally. The protest takes the form of a march, mainly by young women, where some dress as sluts in clothes considered to be "slutty" such as short skirts, stockings and scanty tops. In the various Slutwalks around the world, there are usually speaker meetings and workshops, live music, sign-making sessions, leafleting, open microphones, chanting, dances, martial arts, and receptions or after-parties with refreshments. After an article that reported on the situation received international attention, [15] Sanguinetti apologized for the remark saying:. I made a comment which was poorly thought out and did not reflect the commitment of the Toronto Police Service to the victims of sexual assaults. Violent crimes such as sexual assaults can have a traumatizing effect on their victims My comment was hurtful in this respect. I am embarrassed by the comment I made and it shall not be repeated.

This started discussion in the media about the ethics of anonymity and outing on the Internet. In , Reddit introduced a quarantine policy to make visiting certain subreddits more difficult. Visiting or joining a quarantined subreddit requires bypassing a warning prompt.
All of this has led to a big question: Why? Why do so many women agree to unwanted sex? One answer is that their conditioning starts young. In a December study of sexting among to year-old girls, Sara E. Thomas of Northwestern University analyzed stories posted to an online, anonymous platform. She reports that most of the girls felt pressured to comply with requests to send naked photos of themselves to boys who demanded them.
