Let us know your ideas for the space, and for radical social change! Here’s our hours for the next week: http://bit.ly/LibertaliaCalendar For those of you who are...

fenice-argento asked: Hey, not going to be one of those people who are like "YOU SPELLED IT WRONG!". However, I did see on the facebook page last week that someone pointed out, a mod responded, and the person offered to fix it via image editing software but no one replied back. I bet there are many people who could fix it for you on photoshop, it seems fairly simple (I'd try but I bet it'd look...

Anonymous asked: I think you should have Eve Ensler, the creator of VAGINA MONOLOGUES, come and speak at the event. She is definitely a woman about equal rights. Plus in one of the monologues, from VAGINA MONOLOGUES, she wrote "Reclaiming Cunt;" which is parallel to the slutwalk.

If you haven't seen / read the play you totally should. It's the best and most liberating I have...

kavalierism-deactivated20111117 asked: I think Ayanna Pressley would be a really powerful speaker for the walk. In regards to the person who posted about having men speak, there's always our local politicians -- Mike Capuano has been very supportive of Planned Parenthood. I have mostly pro-choice contacts at this point, but it might be a good idea to contact people at NOW or Michael Falcone at NARAL (contact:...

Anonymous asked: I wasn't being disrespectful by not going out of my way to sign up for a Tumblr account to ask a question, which you clearly welcome with the Questions link. I wasn't looking to start a heinous debate, I was saying that I didn't understand your point of view and I was asking for clarification, and what the word meant to you. The fact that I am anonymous (or Emily, hi) has nothing to...

givethatshitroomtobreathe asked: Hi again,

I don't mean to keep bothering you, but this issue you have with anonymous has to be addressed. To be fair, you're more or less anonymous using the name bostonslutwalk2k11. That's not your real name. I'm more or less anonymous using the name givethatshitroomtobreathe. They're both monikers, as is anonymous itself. The internet provides a forum for...

The word 'Slut' and why is it called a 'Slutwalk'.
The Slutwalk is in retaliation of a Toronto police officer claiming “women should avoid dressing like sluts in order not to be victimized.” Women and men will not be walking as ‘sluts’. They will be walking as full, complete human beings. You do not have to identify as a ‘slut’ in order to walk. You only need to be against rape culture and everything that goes...

Anonymous asked: I happen to agree also, being another neutral opinion. I think it is great what you are striving for, but this type of action I feel is the wrong way of doing it. Reclaiming a word will not stop any type of shame, these actions will still occur. Awareness only does so much and I had several other questions too but how can you say this is a professional forum, and then dismiss questions you feel...

givethatshitroomtobreathe asked: Hello,

I don't really have an opinion one way or another regarding the actual SlutWalk, but I would like to add that you not responding to a very valid question from an anonymous person is very poor form. This makes you seem like you're avoiding a serious issue that your event is bound to bring up. If you had addressed this seriously and presented your argument...

Anonymous asked: You do realize that referring to everyone walking as "sluts" only makes it okay for others to call you sluts, right? I don't understand how marching through Boston in little clothing accomplishes anything. Why would you want to "take back" the word? What does it even mean to you?

I'm definitely going to the Boston SlutWalk!
