I went to SlutWalk Chicago today and it was wonderful. It's always inspiring to see how many people turn out for that kind of thing! It was a little bizarre how many people were taking pictures of us (my Woman and I), especially without our consent! :O But we did consent when people asked...
Anyway, check me out,y'all!
I learned how to turn one of my scarves into a niqab, thanks to
The Non-Muslim Hijabi's Youtube video, which was super helpful, and using beautiful pins from
The Modest Woman on Etsy.
If you can't read the sign, it says: "Don't teach women how to dress; teach men how not to rape." And yes, I did actually use a semi-colon in my protest sign.
Also, my woman came to SlutWalk, just wearing what she would normally wear.
Her sign says: "Nobody deserves to be sexually assaulted." On the back, it said, "To prevent sexual assault, stop victim blaming."
That's all for today-- it's a billion degrees here and balancing my laptop on my lap any longer just isn't an option. Tune in sometime later this week for a post about the religious justifications for immodesty.

Great signs! I enjoyed seeing the photos and hearing how it went. Thank you for sharing! :)
It is amazing that you and your woman participated. The pictures look great and I hope it was a meaningful experience.
