Holding a slut walk protest in San Francisco is one thing… Holding a slut walk protest in Jakarta is something entirely different.

Indonesian women stage a protest wearing miniskirts at Jakarta’s central roundabout. About 50 women in Indonesia, the world’s most populous Muslim country, donned miniskirts to protest remarks by the Jakarta city governor who blamed a recent gang rape on the victim’s choice of clothing. (AFP)
Gutsy women outraged by comments by a Muslim official in Jakarta held a slut walk protest this weekend.
Reuters reported:
Scores of women and children wearing colorful miniskirts and tight leggings gathered in central Jakarta on Sunday, outraged by a public official’s comments that provocatively dressed women are to blame for sexual assaults.
The protest was in response to remarks by the Indonesian capital city’s governor Fauzi Bowo, who said on Friday that women must not wear revealing clothes to avoid being raped or victimized.
He quickly apologized, but his comments were publicized widely via local media and Twitter.
The rally called on police and the Indonesian government to do more to protect women and help the victims of sexual assault.
Women carried placards saying “Don’t tell us how to dress, tell them not to rape,” and “My body is not porn, instead it’s your dirty mind.”
Fortunately, the hardliners didn’t blow them up. That’s a good thing.

Hey Jim, could you help me with this

If we could get as many people concerned with the Marxists that have taken over our government as are fretting over their Fantasy Football leagues, Obama would have done been run out on a rail; maybe we could get people to do both.
I can’t think of a better way to reach cousin Billy, who doesn’t even know who the President is, but can tell you who the 1991 5th round draft pick was for the Packers was.

The famous Cuban “Ladies in White” are in equal danger and have been so for a much longer time and for a much better cause than slut walking. “Attention must be paid.”

Marsh626 commented:
I see females in revealing clothes all the time. I never rape them. That’s because I’m not a low IQ, 3rd world, muslim, barbarian that rapes anything and everything that moves.
Jerry C commented:
Wow. Never thought I could respect a slut. Never say never.
Bob Z commented:
It is funny how most normal males think about women in mini- skirts, but muslim males go into a rage and want to kill the women!! What a screwed up religion and culture!!
Taqiyyotomist commented:
Don’t look for an investigative follow-up, and a mass media outrage when all of these brave women are “dealt with”.
It’ll never happen.
Taqiyyotomist commented:
AFP and Reuters have said all they’ll say about this.
Images of happy protestors — end of story.
Images of corroded faces, stoned women buried to their armpits in gravel — {crickets}

That is Barry’s old stomping grounds!

My ‘Net connection is unstable again today, so I’ve not been able to open the source sites. Is that (cited sources) where I’ll find out why the demeaning word “slut” is being used to describe the Indonesian women’s righteous protest?

It should be, and in the end we’ll all see that it should have been, titled:

15. The releasing of a completely-obviously forged birth certificate…

@#5 ahem.
I prayed for them before reading your post.
I concure, these poor girls are in terrible danger.
And more power to them!!!!
LadyLiberty1885 commented:
Given the Islamic hardliners and their noise in that region of the world right now, I’d have to say honestly these women just put their lives on the line.
American Woman commented:
Slut walk does not mean they are sluts. The rapists and the people who enable them always blame the rapes on the actions of the women, including what they wear. They call them “sluts”. Calling it a “slut walk” just shows how far off the mark name calling can be when you look at the women in the photos.
Women have been wearing short skirts in different decades since the roaring 20′s and the “flappers”. From what I see in that photo, there is nothing inappropriate about the dress of these young women.
I love the placard one carried mentioned in Jim’s story: “Women carried placards saying ‘Don’t tell us how to dress, tell them not to rape,” and “My body is not porn, instead it’s your dirty mind.’”
It draws attention to the actual problem that festers in the minds of Islamic Fascists. They are the problem not these girls.

@#9, Marsh626 – Muslims don’t have to limit their sexual depravity to “anything and everything that moves.”
A fatwa out of Morocco allows necrophilia as halal in Morocco. The fatwa was issued by the grace of Alem Zemzami, Islamic Scholar and member of the religious establishment.

Surely the girls could learn a little more modesty, too.

If you consider what they are wearing in that picture immodest then you may be a Muslim. For sure you’re a cultural throwback.
AuntieMadder commented:
@ #22 American Woman: Yeah, I get how or why they ended up called “slut walks,” but I still don’t like it. I don’t see how it can be helpful to those brave women when those of us not trapped in the 7th century go along with the demeaning, “slut-shaming” language of the women’s Neanderthal oppressors. If anything, the Neanderthals could misunderstand (they’re not too bright, ya’ know) and end up thinking that the rest of the world agree that women who show their limbs are sluts. (Between you and me, not one of those women is wearing anything that looks short to me. Each of them is modestly dressed. Even the girl in front with the pink poster/sign is wearing granny shorts, imo. If they want it to be called “slut walk,” they need to try harder.)
AuntieMadder commented:
@ #30: No doubt.
Christopher Taylor commented:
Tiny skirts isn’t exactly modest, and they are holding a “slut walk” which isn’t exactly the acme of modesty. Just something to consider.
AuntieMadder commented:
@ #18 Taq: Re the American Thinker article you linked: Can you say “understatement?” How about “playing it down?” Try “minimizing.” The word “distract” also comes to mind as well as “seeing the forest for the trees.”
To summarize, that AT article sucked.
AuntieMadder commented:
@ #33: I don’t see any tiny skirts in that photo. Perhaps you have a cheesecake or porn window open as well and got all mixed up, maybe even going blind just like your mom told you.
AuntieMadder commented:
@ #33: Does your camel get jealous when you whack off to porn?
Elizabeth commented:
#5 Ahem: agreed. I will pray for them, that they know Christ and also for their safety and fortitude.
The thing is, they’re in terrible danger there even if they don’t stand up for themselves.
