No such photos found! And the Slutwalk video on oregonlive.com doesn't play either! Screw you, internets!

@dmitrir - The tech lesson learned today is that Flickr slideshows don't work in some browsers if the photos are set to any security higher than just "public." Good to know! Anyway, I scrapped the slideshow idea and just uploaded some photos into the post regularly. They should work now.

Did they trot out the 1-in-4 statistic again? It's about as useful as the "domestic abuse and the Superbowl myth".

Also, Sarah: Can you please just stop using the slideshow thing? It never works right.

On one hand: I absolutely 100% agree with everything that these people are saying. Hell yes.

On the other hand: Such events remind me of overzealous (and often ineffective) college-era radicalism. They seem to be more about galvanizing the already-solid left rather than persuading the squishy, tractable center. Turning flip-floppy centrists into reliable, voting progressives is where the real work is. That's true of cultural, economic, and, yes, sexual issues as well. I don't know if events like this are truly effective at doing that.

On the third hand: This looked like lots of fun.

Graham, did you present two red herrings and then, in the same post, link to articles refuting them? Who brought up the 1-in-4 statistic or the Super Bowl? Is this a form of disassociative disorder or just desperate trolling?
