Save the Date: Amber Rose Is Hosting a "Slut Walk"

Though small waves of progress have certainly been made, the issue of gender inequality — with regards to pay, career advancement, sexuality, harassment, et al — still remains one of the most pressing problems facing our country. As of April 2015, full-time working women were still only earning 77% of what their male counterparts earned for the exact same duties. Likewise, the presence of institutionalized slut-shaming is still strong enough to warrant a unified response — and, of course, by "still strong enough" I simply mean slut-shaming still exists in the year 2015 and that's a fucking problem.

Thankfully, a growing number of public figures — from actors to musicians and every form of artist in between — have made gender equality (and women's rights, specifically) a focal point of their respective careers. Certainly no stranger to productive outspokenness, Amber Rose just announced the Amber Rose Slut Walk — a Los Angeles event aimed at battling "women’s equality issues such as sexual injustice, victim blaming, derogatory labeling, and gender inequality."
