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."

Probably replace them with "Dk head" caps. They better hurry since the "BIG" anti Trump, uh I mean Women's March, is fast approaching and distribution time is short. Kinda like their thought process. 🐂💩👹🍿🍻

More likely they realised they were being laughed at by everyone and used this as an excuse to get rid of the hats.

They don’t realise everyone will still be laughing at them.

Ron White was right. You can’t fix stupid.

They’re not “Racist, Transphobic” They’re x-rated, low class, and stupid.

Any dude who's been around the block knows full well that they're ALL pink on the inside!

In a sane world it WOULD be satire...
