No, the safety pin is not a new fashion statement — it represents solidarity with people who say they have suffered racism, sexism, xenophobia, Islamophobia and homophobia, amongst other manifestations of bigotry in the wake of Donald Trump’s presidential victory.


I thought they wore them because they were babies and needed a diaper.

Whoever came up with the idea of using a safety pin as a symbol clearly didn’t think about the negative optics it would present.

If their pants are drooping it's likely that the safety pins aren't positioned properly.

My great, great, great grandfather invented a version of safety pin. I want my cut.

These people are stealing my intellectual property.

Isn’t this a rip-off of Punk culture of the 70’s-80’s?

I thought they wore them because they were babies and needed a diaper.

That's my plan.
If I see any when I am out and about, I will simply say, "Sorry to see you still need diapers..."

Here's a real safety pin for them. I know its for a simulator but the idea is what counts

They kept real men safe when they left their safe places so these snowflakes could throw their tantrums and feel good exercises
