framing&propaganda/Slut

Reading this article on the word "slut" I have come to realize the power of this word and its usage.  Every teenage girl who has a had a boyfriend or just a boy to like her has probably been a victim of this word. I myself have and it does hurt.
The idea of the Seattle SlutWalk women trying to reclaim the word "slut" is a very good idea. As I read through the comments below the article I saw a comment saying that the women were being unrealistic on trying to reclaim this word and that it would never happen. I have to overly disagree with this! Women have just as much right to that word as say homosexuals have to the word "queer". Not surprisingly this comment came from a young man.
Also, this word "slut" has been factivly proven in the suicide of some teenage girls who are teased at school and cannot stand it anymore. Too me, a "slut" isn't only someone who dresses provactivly but, someone who maybe has just developed into her body early. Does this give someone else who maybe hasn't grown into her body yet and is jealous or a boy who doesn't know the feelings he's having therefore getting angry at them to call this young lady a "slut"?
I completely agree and am 100% behind the women of SlutWalk in Seattle, Washington.
