"  Every year, people jump on soapboxes, rooftops, and internet comment threads in order to rail about &amp;quot;Slutty Halloween.&amp;quot; Some say dressing provocatively empowers women, while others say it&amp;#039;s a lazy reason to act out against one&amp;#039;s mother. I reached out to 15 of my male friends so they could weigh in on this hot-button issue. Here is a representative sampling of their responses: &amp;quot;Girls who dress all slutty on Halloween are being really insensitive to sluts who are slutty every day.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;I prefer a good pun costume, like Virginia Werewolf or Mia Ham or Susan Bee Anthony.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Slutty bunny? It&amp;#039;s been done before, sister. Slutty Jim Belushi? I&amp;#039;m on board.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;The biggest risk is that when you are dangerously drunk you might solicit help from an unaccredited nurse.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Girls study women&amp;#039;s lib to feel informed about why they have the right to dress slutty.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;I love that a holiday that ostensibly has nothing to do with dressing scantily has now been turned into the greatest annual occasion to dress like your privates need air to survive.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Once you hit college, you have a choice of three costumes \u2014 angel slut, witch slut, or cat slut.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;It would be nice to live in a world in which I could ogle a sexy Ghostbuster and be able to see into her heart.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s Trick-or-Treat, not Tricks-Whores-Teats.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;I am still gay.&amp;quot; My friends are all educated, liberal, and progressive. They make statements of apparent misogyny from a post-modern position of &amp;quot;you know we&amp;#039;re not actually like this so we can joke about it.&amp;quot; I still wanted to know how New Yorkers \u2014 or at least, the ones who were willing to appear on camera \u2014 felt about this &amp;quot;Slutty Halloween.&amp;quot; Below is the result. \u00A0 \u00A0      \u00A0 "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
