Women knit pink 'pussyhats' for rally after Trump inauguration

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Editors Note: Attention to language that may be offensive to some readers in paragraph 3

The National Mall in Washington could become a sea of bright pink the day after Donald Trump is inaugurated as U.S. president if the vision of a pair of Los Angeles women is realized.

For two months, Krista Suh and Jayna Zweiman have called on people around the world to make 1.17 million pink "pussyhats" for those attending the Women's March, a rally on Jan. 21 organized with hopes of bringing attention to civil and human rights issues.

The name of the hats comes partly from President-elect Trump's comments in an infamous 2005 tape that came to light during his campaign in which, discussing women, he said: "Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything."

The project is meant to "create a sea of pink hats which is going to be a strong collective visual statement," Zweiman said.

It is also meant to involve "people across the country and the world who want to be a part of the march but can't physically be there and want to support the marchers," she said.

Little kid: So grandma, what have you been up to?

Grandma: Well, I knitted this pussyhat for the Trump Inauguration.

Little kid: Oh...

Little kid: Mom, what’s a pussyhat?

So, wouldn’t it be sexist if a bunch of guys got together and whittled a bunch of blue penis hats?

“...singing “what’s new PussyHat, waaaah, waaaah, waaaah”

LOLOLOL! Hey, that’s a GREAT idea! Let’s agree to DO that!
When these pink hat fools try to disrupt any of the balls, let’s break into a CONGA LINE and start singing that at the top of our lungs!

And one person should be sure to record it! And distribute to multiple media outlets! Make America Fun Again!

Donald Trump should send out a tweet about
how he appreciates his female supporters
wearing pink hats in his honor.

Let them go nuts trying to figure out what to do.

They can then drop off the pink pussy hats at Andrews AFB for use by the LGBTQIA militia.

Por favor-no esta mierda otra vez...Apparently these women are too stupid to see what childish sh** like this does to what is left of their relevance and credibility-especially when they claim to be objectified and offended by the mere mention of the word “pussy” and other locker room talk-they need to work on my crew for a day or two-that will make them put on their big girl panties-or faint on the nearest couch, guaranteed...

My 1st hubby was in the AF-and MrT5 was in the Army until the mid-90’s-both of them always had one of those hats with them-and they both called it a c*** cap, not caring if someone was offended...

Apparently some women need no help being demeaned; they demean themselves. There is something so grandma like about knitting and something so puke punk about the subject of this knitting. It reminds me of some gawdy crochet some women make. Just no.

I don’t knit but I know people who do and some of them are artists. The things they create are amazing. Not your grandmother’s afghan type of knitting, not that there was anything wrong with that. Those are useful items.

These people are giving knitting, a valuable and useful skill, a bad name.
