Not that other woc didn't also publish and eventually tweet critiques about SlutWalk. But I remember mine was the first intervention.
I know it sounds big headed of me. But I've also had a lifetime of being erased from the very ideas I helped to develop.
But another reason is that, when I first published my SlutWalk critique, @shiratarrant disagreed. She's this book's editor.
When shit definitively hit the fan over creepy-ass Hugo Schwyzer a lot of white women came around. And @shiratarrant was one of them.
Sometimes things take time. They take years. Sometimes the person who didn't get, eventually does. And that's why I do the work I do.
I'm really happy that @shiratarrant decided to include my essay in this book. It's symbolic but also very real for me.
I'm also remembering that, just four years ago, I couldn't get my critique of SlutWalk published. My, how we've changed the field.
