i'm trying to come up with a good idea for my sign... everything i want to say about this case is either too long to make a good slogan, or too incoherent with anger.

someone on the facebook page just suggested COURTESY PROFESSIONALISM RAPE as a take-off of this

If I still lived in the city I'd be there in a heart beat! Hope there's a big turn out!

if you still have friends in the city who might want to come, you should click "i'm attending" on the facebook page anyway... the event will show up in your news feed, and more people will see it.

oh great! I will do that!

If I was anywhere near NYC, I would be there.

I am going! I am considering bringing a bottle brush and a sign that says NOT USED INTERNALLY, but I don't know if that would be too triggering to other protestors.

Yay, I'm so glad you're going!!! I just can't handle it psychologically (I mean, duh, you know, you were with me yesterday). Carry two signs for me and make one say FUCK YOU... NONCONSENSUALLY.

I was really drained, but I did go because I knew you'd want me to.

Honestly, it sounds like it would make the point pretty effectively.

Damn! I wish I could go but I work until 7.
