Rock the Slut Vote!
Slut is an ugly word. It's a word bullys use. But you might be a slut if you disagree with the Rush Limbaugh crowd. Take the slut test to find out.
Susan McMillan Emry, a 56 year old mother of two children, began the Rock the Slut Vote movement in response to Rush Limbaugh calling Sandra Fluke a slut for speaking up in Congress about birth control. The purpose of the movement is to make sure women are informed and registered to vote. Ms. Emry wants to make sure women feel free to speak up even when they risk being ridiculously ridiculed by right wing conservatives.
According to the NY Daily News:, Ms. Emry wrote in a blog post: “By reclaiming the most hurtful, shaming words, groups rise up, unite and fight against intimidation and injustice,” she wrote in a blog post. “Do any of us aspire to be insulted as sluts and worse?
