Because nothing says “fight rape” like a condom free-for-all!

Unfortunately, we were unable to find footage of the this speech:

My friend Jackie just delivered the most moving words I've heard so far at #slutwalkchi, speaking on behalf of Black and Pink.
— Feminist Bully (@bullhorngirl) August 23, 2014

Sounds like we really missed out.

I've gotta hang it to the organizers, this year's #slutwalkchi was radical and powerful. Props to all who worked on the event.

Yeah. Great job, y’all.
