We were in Minneapolis<\/strong> a couple weeks ago, when the Minneapolis SlutWalk took place, on October 1st, 2011.<\/p>\n

The Minneapolis SlutWalk<\/a> video, courtesy of Mill City Times<\/em>, shows a typical cross-section of relatively young, relatively white Minneapolis, a city that with its sister city of St. Paul has a population of approximately three-quarters of a million people. That\u2019s where Nan went to college, too, at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis.<\/p>\n

SlutWalk Minneapolis was bound to be tamer than SlutWalk London<\/a>, which was held in June, or SlutWalk New York<\/a>, which was also held on October 1, 2011.<\/p>\n

More men, it seemed, were in attendance at the Minneapolis protest, than at other protests. One was shirtless. The state was breaking autumn heat wave<\/strong> records, and it has turned out to be the hottest stretch in 132 years. In the 80s every day, ugh.<\/p>\n

SlutWalks originated last spring 2011 in Toronto, when, according to a CBC report<\/a>, a Toronto police constable in January told a York University personal security class that \u201cwomen should avoid dressing like sluts<\/strong> in order not to be victimized.\u201d<\/p>\n

The antiviolence SlutWalk protests are sex-positive<\/strong>, unlike the mostly anti-porn Take Back the Night<\/a> marches of the 1970s and 1980s, before women reclaimed their right to be sexual beings.<\/p>\n

In response, and an historic turning point, On Our Backs<\/a>\u00a0was born, the brainchild of Deborah Sundahl, Nan Kinney, Myrna Elena and Susie Bright.<\/p>\n

Women and lesbians began celebrating sex and sexuality in a way they hadn\u2019t before. Women\u2019s desires were shown in all their glory in On Our Backs<\/em> magazine and those first Fatale videos<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For a perfect example of a now-classic lesbian video<\/strong>, don\u2019t miss Fatale Media\u2019s Clips<\/a>. Nan and Deb star, and there is one scene in there from Deborah that is still our favorite.<\/p>\n

Yours in good love and sex,<\/p>\n
