Personally, I like the idea of the "Slut Walk"
nor do I think that the name should be changed. The women who named the whole
movement obviously had a purpose as to why they named it that. But by me saying
this, it still over sexualizes (I guess I just made up this word) women.
Someway, somehow women are all ways turned into sex objects no matter what skin
color they are. Although, it's with every woman, we definitely see it happen a
lot with women of color. The Hispanic community is often shown as having the
most "sexiest" and "exotic" women around. In the article
"Guadalupe the Sex Goddess", I love how she turned her stereotypical
sexuality into spirituality. She made it no longer taboo. Also, with the Black
community, we are obligated to hold up to the standards of having a huge
behind, small waist, and big breast. And for what reason exactly? Me,
personally, once upon a time, I have striven to have the biggest butt that I
could possibly attain, but I learned that my body was not ready for all of
that. Also, I realized that it was not making me happy; it was just stressing
me out more because I wanted the ideal Black woman's shape. As for sexuality, I
am one of the few people that are not afraid of discussing this type of issue.
I don't think that anything is wrong with sexuality; I just think that it
becomes something raunchy when people put more emphasis on what it is and means
to be sexy.
