SlutWalks have been around for a while. They were started back in 2011, in response to some ugly slut-shaming by a Toronto policeman.

Since then they’ve taken place all over the world.

Anyone can host one, including you.

Amber Rose really liked the idea behind the walk, and she’s hosting one — her third — this year.

But you know this. Because you use the internet.

Rose wants people to come to her SlutWalk, and posted an image of herself promoting the walk that you’ve probably seen. 

If you haven’t seen it, it’s available on her Twitter page. We can’t post it here, because it is somewhat risqué. So maybe don’t click that link at work.

The picture has spawned others made by people participating what’s become known as the #AmberRoseChallenge.

What it’s also done, predictably, is brought out a lot of men who feel that they know a lot about feminism and have been appointed by God Himself to lecture Rose about all the ways her picture is bad for women and how she's not a “real” feminist.

Here, have a little sample:

Is this for feminism or what ? Cos I don't understand this feminism anymore. .u hoes just always look for some reason to go naked online— LAncelot (@lord_omo) June 11, 2017

When last did Amber Rose make the news for reasons other than dating/breakup or nudity? Her feminism has never transcended attentionism.— FAVOUR ONYEOZIRI (@Rouvafe) June 12, 2017

how Amber Rose getting naked empowers women idk, I thought going to school, education other women, standing for Rights, opening businesses— Tre'von (@BlackGuyWitLocs) June 11, 2017

Not the most erudite of tweets to be sure. 

Rose ignored most of those trying to take her to task, but couldn’t help but respond to one man who’s famous for loving to hear himself talk regardless of his knowledge (or lack of) about the subject he’s speaking about.

No not Donald Trump, or Jeff Sessions or anyone important like that.

We’re talking about Piers Morgan. 

The former tabloid journalist began his critique with this tweet:

 

 

He later retweeted Rose’s picture, writing “This is not feminism.”

Rose didn’t so much clap back as slap Morgan silly, flaying the man with a series of tweets.

She mentioned that her picture did what it was meant to do:

That Morgan’s words were sexist at best:

 

And that his criticisms didn’t make a whole lot of sense:

Especially given that he’d taken off his clothes for a cause he believes in (fattening his own wallet):

 

And then, with Morgan grinning at the publicity, but very obviously having been publicly shamed, Rose went in for the kill:

 

How’s that for feminist rhetoric?

Rose’s words received applause from all sorts of people on Twitter:

 

And, in the end, she’s shown that she sure does know how to promote an event.
