Several people contacted News 13 to say they were upset about the billboard.

Ellen Perry is one of them. Perry is a literature and humanities teacher at UNCA and AB Tech. She is planning a protest outside the store on Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m.

Perry told News 13 she's supported by the Women's Rights Committee, Stronger Together WNC North, and the Equal Rights Amendment Committee within Indivisible Asheville.

Perry said she will continue to organize protests until the billboard is taken down.

It wouldn’t surprise me if it indeed were a pre-arranged hissy fit for the publicity. The article mentioned some of the jewelry store’s previous billboards. They are tongue in cheek & stand out from the usual staid adverts.

(I mean I *hope* it’s by arrangement because... I swear, I wish my own life were so easy as to find this sign the most aggravating part of my day. I got real problems, knowwhutimean?)
