Slut shaming, SlutWalks, Celebrity & Amber Rose

•October 12, 2015 • Leave a Comment

“This weekend is the first of what Rose hopes will become an annual event, which has so far raised over $55,000 for the Amber Rose Foundation and “organizations of women who have been subject to slut-shaming, a lack of implication of double standards, sexual assault, and even rape.” This is how Rose hopes to promote her mission to empower all women and fight gender inequality. It’s all donation-based, and if anything, I overheard that Rose reportedly lost some money throwing the event.”

Here is an interesting response to slut-shaming.  What do you all think about it?  Is it emancipatory to reclaim the word ‘slut’ which so often has negative connotations?  Does it further the cause?

Check out the article.

Will these designs “make it right”?  Brad Pitt thinks so. They’re not exactly photographs, but they’re close.www.makeitrightnola.org

Amy Stein is a photographer herself and  blogs about other photographers, films, et al.  http://amysteinphoto.blogspot.com/

I especially like to visit this site to look at the galleries of the winners of their photo contests.  It is a great source for finding new photographers.

I really love these two sites for their support of cultural diversity in photography.
