Thousands Of Women Will Wear Pink, Knitted ‘bleep Power Hats’ To Protest Trump

Posted By Eric Owens On 8:34 AM 01/04/2017

Women all across America are planning to festoon themselves with knitted, pink “bleep power hats” during a march on Washington, D.C. — and other cities — scheduled for January 21, the day after Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration.

The organizers of the Pussyhat Project hope to make “a powerful visual statement” at the Women’s March on Washington by having a large number of women show up wearing the hats.

The “bleep power hats,” which feature perky cat-like ears, are a cinch to make, organizers say. “Knitters, crocheters and sewers of all levels” can make the hats at home — preferably with neon pink yarn.

LOL!  The forum software broke your link by replacing a key "P" word with "bleep"! 

I figured out what it was supposed to be and read the article (no, I can't link it either).  There's a snowball's chance in Heck enough of these "ladies" have the knowledge of knitting required to make "thousands" of hats.

I will grant that Bleeps make powerful visual statements.

A high school classmate indicates on Facebook that she'll be going, not sure whether in D.C. or in her town of Portland, Ore.

Yes, I do, though I prefer crocheting. 

I hasten to add that I won't be making or wearing one of these.

These gals should have done their research.  Pink has been used in support of Donald Trump for over a year.  Khaki may have been the more appropriate color for their protest.

@Sanguine I have a query:  If you knitted a blue one, would it be considered transgendered?

Hmmm.  No, that would signal patriarchy.  I would think it would have to be green and purple.

The counter-protestors will be male and all of them will be carrying this pillow:






(It's from a legit home shopping site, I swear).

Is it true that the ones made in China are meant to be worn sideways?

Me neither.  You're a bad influence, Mr. Nut, and need to up your game if you want to stay on the cutting edge.  Just try not to hit the Mod3 barrier...

@Wingnut
You have much to learn, Grasshopper.

The key to getting away with outrageous blog posts lies in both subtlety and misdirection. As with the miniskirt or bikini, it is better and ultimately more effective to leave just enough to the observer's imagination.

When you can snatch this pebble from my hand, Grasshopper, you will have mastered your craft, the art of which lies not in the pebble, but in the snatch.

You can’t march with us: The faux inclusivity of the Women’s March on Washington
By: Carly Hoilman | January 17, 2017

Individuals planning to attend the Women’s March on Washington on Saturday are quickly learning that not all victims are created equal. The New York Times recently ran a piece on the racial tensions among protesters. The article highlights the experience of Jennifer Willis, a 50-year-old mother and wedding minister who was planning on attending the Jan. 21 event with her daughters. She backed out, however, after a post on the event’s Facebook page made her reconsider:

The post, written by a black activist from Brooklyn who is a march volunteer, advised “white allies” to listen more and talk less. It also chided those who, it said, were only now waking up to racism because of the election.

“You don’t just get to join because now you’re scared, too,” read the post. “I was born scared.”

“This is a women’s march,” Willis told the Times. “We’re supposed to be allies in equal pay, marriage, adoption. Why is it now about, ‘White women don’t understand black women’?”   ...

Update: Women’s March Removes Pro-Life Sponsor
by Alexandra DeSanctis   January 16, 2017 4:40 PM


UPDATE 4:35 PM: The Women’s March on Washington has removed the pro-life group New Wave Feminists from its list of official event sponsors after backlash from feminists arguing that pro-life women are not welcome in the feminist movement. One of the most prominent of such responses:

    Intersectional feminism does not include a pro-life agenda. That’s not how it works! The right to choose is a fundamental part of feminism.
    — roxane gay (@rgay) January 16, 2017

Here is the official statement from the women’s march, apologizing for the “error”:

Destiny Herndon-De La Rosa of New Wave Feminists told LifeSiteNews that the group will still attend the march. “It appears that the [Women's March on Washington] only wants to include a ‘diverse’ array of women who think exactly like them,” she said. “That’s unfortunate, but we will not be deterred.“   ...
