Which is all well and good, but it seems to ignore the fact that most rapists don't care what society thinks of them. Yes, a lot of harassment can be from society's thoughts.

But there are scum who will do evil things without caring what anyone thinks, and it does not seem wise to ignore that in favor of high minded principles.

The Slutwalk isn't directed at the rapists as much as it is directed at society's tendency for victim-blaming in cases of rape. A substantial amount of the trauma rape victims experience isn't so much from the act itself but how people react to it.
