This shirt puzzled me right away. In fact, I walked past the vendor's stall a second time to get a picture of it. That's what made me think about starting this feature.

So, here are some of the things I wondered:

Does this represent a "reclaiming" of the slut label? Is this something a woman would pick out for herself or would it be given to her as a joke?

This was printed only on women's tank tops and not on men's shirts. Is there a "walk of shame" for men? Wikipedia's "walk of shame entry suggests that for men the walk has to do with the desirability of the partner where for women it has to do with having had a one-night stand or hookup. (By the way, the Wikipedia entry needs work. If you know a lot about the idea of the "walk of shame" please help them out!) Does this shirt represent a reinforcement of the double standard around sexual freedom for men and women or is it an attempt to challenge that double standard?

Just some questions to start the discussion.

What do you make of this shirt and its message?

...because public space really matters!
