I'm guessing that these women don't dress like "sluts" all year round
The idea is that a woman should not be more susceptible to "forced sex" also known as rape because of the clothes she is wearing (or not wearing). Men should not be able to say - but she dressed like a slut so she deserved it. Appealing to common sense that men have control over their actions and are not animals motivated by primal urges alone.
And to make this point a bunch of women dress like sluts - or parade around naked - to say in essence "pig men is this provocative enough for you - We'd like to see someone try and harm us".
I think its a perfectly fine way of driving home a point that NO MATTER HOW A WOMAN dresses - its doesn't mean she's asking for "it".
^ do the same women have problem with women being 'oppressed'/'objectified' in sex-industry?? or porn??
or are these the other sort of feminists who support those activities??
I think this whole slut walk crusade is extremely distasteful . I cannot comment on the Indian protest but in Canada there were Women walking around with their genitalia exposed .
In america too girls dress up exposing so much. In downtown areas mothers wears clothes that expose their butt and chest it is so distasteful and they have children with them too.
In india it doesn't matter even if u wear shalwar kammez with dupatta also they will haress you.
As a woman i personally think we should dress decently.

Focusing on "downtown women" uncalled for. One can find examples across the societal spectrum with dress codes that may be deemed indecent.

Excellently put. Folks appear to have missed this.
^ Please read post sloooowly 21 for the big picture!
Obviously you did not read my post slow enough.
It does take two to tango.
And yes at times a pervert cannot be stopped regardless what a woman be wearing or what circumstances or relationship the pervert has. Sick minded are a reality.
No argument there.
What you have failed to understand that there is such thing as incitement, excitement, human emotions, with all the weaknesses attached to it.
Both factors need to be worked on.
As much as possible, the decent clothings in any environment which could potentially bring the crime to occur be worn.
Every situation of crime is different and be looked at and what these famanizis have created that the meaning of rape is changed altogether.
Not just that, other factors need to be minimised. Like drugs or alcohol access to especially immature crowd.
A lot of people even in west are getting tired of these bunch of loonies running around naked showing private parts on street to make a silly point. Please read the news. If not just google it.
Moreover what is the point of walking naked, the post 21 gave acceptance to a stupid idea.
Next is what, you throw dollars/diamonds/gold on the street everywhere around you and say " Come on robbers, come rob me"?
There was nothing wrong in the police officer advising women to be decent and proper.
He shoudnt have used the word slut. I'm sure he realizes that now. Couldve simply said be careful at night specially if you are wearing clothes that could be seen as revealing by perverts.
"…Which is likely why Mark Twain observed:Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence in society.
So ladies, wear revealing clothing if you want to. But don’t ever think it is safe to wear anything you want were ever you want. Life isn’t about Why you shouldn’t be a victim, it is about how NOT to be a victim."

Thank you. There is clear right and wrong there in my humble opinion.
