BOSTON (Reuters) The dress code is casual, but the message is serious: no matter what you are wearing, no one invites sexual assault.
Thousands of marchers are expected on Saturday in Boston for "Slutwalk" the provocative name for a movement begun after a Toronto policeman suggested in January that women could avoid sexual assault by not dressing like a "*advertiser censored*."

And, here is some spin from the Toronto Police Department regarding the comment by the officer:
In Toronto, the police department said its consistent message is that the victim is never to blame.
Comments made by one officer "did not and do not reflect the service as a whole," said spokeswoman Constable Wendy Drummond.
