SlutWalk Movement, Etymology of Slut, and Male Equivalents
The "SlutWalk" movement, which began in Canada after a police officer's controversial comments about women's attire, has spread to Australia. A linguistic exploration of the word "slut" follows, comparing modern definitions of promiscuity with archaic Shakespearean meanings of "slovenly." The lack of a direct male equivalent for the term is noted, with "douchebag" offered as a contemporary alternative.
