Women’s Marchers Doing Away With ‘Pussy Hats’ for Being Racist, Transphobic
Free Beacon ^ | January 11, 2018 | Alex Griswold

Members of the Women's March movement are no longer grabbing their trademark pink "pussy hats" out of concern they might be offensive to minorities and transgender women.

Following Donald Trump's inauguration, marchers donned pink cat ears, a mocking reference to the president's hot mic comments saying that he enjoyed grabbing women by the "pussy."

But the Detroit Free Press reports that women activists in Michigan and elsewhere are making a conscious effort to move away from the hat out of fear that it "excludes and is offensive to transgender women and gender nonbinary people who don't have typical female genitalia and to women of color because their genitals are more likely to be brown than pink."

"I personally won't wear one because if it hurts even a few people's feelings, then I don't feel like it's unifying," said Phoebe Hopps, the founder of Women's March Michigan. "I care more about mobilizing people to the polls than wearing one hat one day of the year."

They’re just tired of looking like flaming idiots, but the women don’t have the guts to admit it.

They would present a more attractive front if they all wore plain brown paper bags over their heads. Opaque plastic bags would be better but plastic is banned in the more enlightened progressive jurisdictions.

Besides, it was such a stupid idea that the entire nation was making really nasty jokes about these weird broads. You can always depend on stupid people to act stupidly.
