Wow, I don’t know too much about this magazine, but I LOVED this article. The slutwalks from a male perspective (written by an organizer of a slutwalk and also a father).

Excellent article!!! The slutwalk is a moment of protest - part of a greater movement. Most of the outspoken critics are looking at the slutwalks with a very narrow perspective.
