Feminist bachelorette sash

Need ideas for a feminist bachelorette sash.
A good friend who has a PhD in gender studies is getting married soon and I am throwing her a last minute bachelorette party. She has asked to eschew all usual bachelorette tropes (though we are doing a burlesque show), but would be willing to wear a sash if it says something "badass" and "breaks gender norms." As a point of reference, I'm sure she would love to wear a sash just covered in vagina dentatas, but I do not have the time to be crafty and so need some short text to get one made online. It can definitely be shocking or controversial. Any ideas?

Best answer: what about a bullet-style bandolier in place of the sash - revolutionary slogans optional?

Best answer: Is she getting married to a woman or a man? If it's a man, how about "like a fish needs a bicycle"?

Ok, on preview, I definitely vote bandolier with "nasty woman" on it. You can buy costume ones on amazon.

How about a traditional suffragette sash? Votes for Women or Deeds not Words?
