I didn't intend to post anything until I had fic, but I read something, and that lead to this long response, and hell, it's something to talk about ( and discuss... )
I'm a little confused by what seems to be your reasons for being upset with this speech. Maybe I'm misunderstanding the transcript, but it doesn't sound to me like she's actually saying that rape victims, strong women, etc ARE sluts by the traditional definition of the word. It sounds like she's saying that the word "slut" is commonly used to put them down, to make it okay to attack them, etc. And she's saying that even if the term DID fit - that even if they ARE sluts by the traditional word usage - then, that's still not an excuse to rape/attack them.
I think I more or less *agree* with what she said. I think she's just making a deliberately dramatic point.
