In “SlutWalks v. HoStrolls,” Brittney C. Cooper discusses the racial specificity of the SlutWalk movement. She also expresses ambivalence about white feminists’ re-appropriation of the term, “slut.” At the end of the piece, Cooper invites comments, and many of these are quite interesting. How does reading Cooper’s piece and the comment thread that follows it change how you think about the term “slut” as a misogynist epithet that either should or should not be reclaimed by feminist activists?
