I got this from a facebook friend who seems to be in the know of whats
happening. The leftists ladies are now chewing themselves up over the
headgear they created and are now wanting to shun the hat because it
somehow doesn't recognize their cause and is being downplayed from their
own members. Interesting...

Apparently the “Pink p**sy hats” that were gleefully adorned on liberal
heads during the Women’s March are no longer politically correct (as
determined by the leftists) because, and I quote, “not every woman has a
vagina” and the hats are “white focused and Eurocentric” because not all vaginas are pink.
It has now been confirmed in my mind that liberals will find a way to
make ANYTHING controversial. Even the stupid crap that they come up with."

Pensacola Women's March
January 3 at 2:32pm · Pensacola ·
The Pink P*ssy Hats represent a very concentrated and thus, exclusionary
sect of feminism that ignores, neglects, and ultimately harms the fight
for global women’s liberation. The entire concept is based around the
idea of biological essentialism and shared womanhood (Mia McKenzie, Black
Girl Dangerous): two incorrect ideas that women are all on the same level
despite conflicting classes, races, sexualities, etc. and are also bound
by “the power of the vagina”. This is a very popular concept developed
and expanded upon during the second wave of feminism, usually called
“radical feminism”. This type of feminism, though hugely successful in
terms of reproductive justice, ultimately emphasized a mistreatment of
transgender women that continues today. Though some transgender women do
choose to have Genital Reconstruction Surgery, many do not, and should
not have to to prove their being a woman. The right to
self-determination, a concept that all feminists must get behind, allows
transgender women to be women. Thus, not every woman has a vagina, and
with the right to self-determination existing for transgender men and
non-binary transgender people as well, not every person who has a vagina
is a woman. The Pink P*ssy Hat reinforces the notion that woman = vagina
and vagina = woman, and both of these are incorrect. Additionally, the
Pink P*ssy Hat is white-focused and Eurocentric in that it assumes that
all vaginas are pink; this is also an incorrect assertion.

The Pensacola Women’s March organizers understand that this idea was a
knee-jerk reaction to the heinous, sexist, misogynistic Trump
administration, but it is also just that: a knee-jerk reaction, not fully
thought out. Therefore, we ask that march goers refrain from wearing this
hat and instead, pick an alternative headwear that focuses on collective
women’s liberation for ALL women: transgender women, multinational women,
disabled women, queer women -- the most marginalized. It is only through
the centering and leadership of these groups that women will be liberated
-- not through exclusionary white feminism, which the Pink P*ssy Hat is indicative of..."


That’s a lotta words for you, Tim. Are you and Herring planning to show up
at the next womens’ March as examples of stupid crap?


See Tim? I told ya!
