The first one
The first sign posted advocates self defense.
AWESOME.
The first sign advocates defense of country.
AWESOME.
The first sign advocates planetary defense.
(Weirdly braggadocious), but AWESOME!
Though I do fear being annoyed by the politically correct methods of said defenses that are not mentioned. If it is by wearing a stupid hat then I take back my accolades. A gun or a sharp stick of some sort would be great.
Why do you feel so threatened?
Every time the march comes up you and others are nothing but critical. (Or stupidly sarcastic.)
As a white guy I'm 100% in support. These signs rock. The movement rocks.
Pay attention.
I like the self defense sign. It is awesome.
However, these chicks nowadays have some crazy ideas, like wearing stupid hats. I do not want to accidentally approve of that sort of thing.
If they all carried baseball bats with barbed wire wrapped around the end, I would NOT be making fun of their bats. It is not like I would make fun of just anything they did.
Don't worry, dude
Not one person at any of these marches seeks or cares about your approval. None. Not a single one. Thousands and thousands of people, totally unconcerned about whether you think they're doing the right thing or not.
Some follow up
Since you are speaking for thousands and know what they are thinking.....
What is the method of self-defense that was written on that sign?
For the record
I also don't care for or seek your approval
I dunno.
You are seeking something.
I am a Freemason. Some of our brothers are Shriners. They wear stupid hats. I cannot say that anyone is or is not specifically seeking approval by wearing stupid hats.. it is just a part of the deal of being a Shriner.
The thing is, if anyone came up to a Shriner and said, "That is a funny looking hat you got there. Hey, what is up with the little cars you guys drive?", the Shriner is not going to say "I do not seek your approval". The Shriner would explain the little car, as the Shriner is proud of all things Shriner.
You, on the other hand, are not proud of explaining or even talking about your feminist symbolism because you are not proud. You have false pride. Your pride is so damaged, you are taking it out on me. I guess I forgive you.
Sigh
*groan*
Shrug.
I'd say the hats have been pretty well explained, and well, the internet exists.
Hat research
My internet research shows:
50 percent of the people say they are pussycat cat ear hats
50 percent of the people say they are female genitalia hats
98 percent of the hats are Caucasian pink
2 percent look like the knitters did not have any good pink yarn lying around
<.01% are darker/browner than Caucasian pink
92 percent of the people find them ridiculous
5 percent find them to be pearl-clutchworthy
3 percent think they are a symbol of something great but cannot say what that greatness is
100 percent of people I asked on the internet cannot explain the hats to me.
What is caucasian pink?

If you think this or the others of a similar hue are "Caucasian pink", your research is flawed.
Flawed
I am not surprised it is.
50 percent of the people tell me the hats represent domesticated defenseless widdle kittens that have incredible value in their cuteness and as they get older their only job is in the kitchen, to keep it clean of mice.
50 percent of the people tell me that it is a genital hat. D***head is an insult. P****head strikes me as insulting just by association, but it doesn't exactly flow off the tongue. Nor does the image mesh with the old brain. In other words, historically, wearing representation of your genitalia on your head is a pretty stupid thing to do.
"Caucasian pink" is the best I can do to handle the many levels of dichotomy, and the fact that it is clearly a Caucasian thing.... or a pink kitten thing... I don't know. The one page that claimed to have an explanation said "It is exactly what you think it is". Then never explained it. Arg.
If someone asked me what the deal with the American flag was all about, I could tell them. I would not call them names or insult them or tell them to go to Google. Thirteen original colonies. Stars for the states. Rectangular to conform to societal norms. Easy. Real easy.
More like "scared"
As in "uppity women scare capecodduh".
I dunno
I got a thing for Jewish women.
1) They are so hot. 2) I can handle what they lay down.
Uppity chicks are a whole pay grade down and sideways from an awesome Jewish goddess. Uppity chicks are like mid-life crisis guys who get their first Harley. They buy the Harley wallet and Harley cologne at the dealership too.
You are obnoxious
Even if you think those thoughts privately in your head, what on earth would motivate you to post them in a public forum?
Ummmm
7 percent of the posters here think it is okay to wear a genitalia hat on their head and yet you use the OBNOXIOUS label to go after the one guy who sings the praises of a proud hot Jewish woman?
Priorities, dude.
Poor little bunny
Do you feel threatened? Are you afraid that you won't get to just go around raping women anymore? Are you scared that mommy won't make you hot pockets?
Awww.
Do you feel threatened?
No. Has any internet poster been strangled with a stupid hat so I should worry?
I did not know the march was specifically against rape. Do men wear phallic hats for their anti-rape marches?
WTF is wrong with you?
WTF is wrong with you? Anymore? When could/did this happen?
Some follow up
Time for Adam to ban this racist, homophobic and sexist assclown.
Enough of this shit is enough.
Why? Uhub has had worse
Why? Uhub has had worse posters.
Prison has had worse inmates than Jeffrey Dahmer, too
So what.
It isn't a contest for worst - it is a matter of being compulsively repulsive.
Never said it was a contest.
Never said it was a contest. Adam has tolerated worse. If you don’t like this poster’s comments, keep scrolling.
How long do I keep scrolling?
He spews his racist, sexist, and ignorant diarrhea over the thread, fifteen comments deep.
You have free will. When you
You have free will. When you see “CapeCodder” slide your finger/ mouse up the screen until you get to the next commenter’s name. What did he say that was so bad?
You really would have loved Mark from Arlington.
You have free will too
You triggered bro? When you see "capecoddah" slide your finger/mouse up the screen until you get way way way way down, and skip the perfectly reasonable complaints about his toxicity, since they bother you so. Or, y'know, go on being his fanboi. Up to you.
Funny thing
He was the first to whine about the post Adam made about the promising young woman felled by asthma.
Him or Roman the virtuous immigrant?
It's always a race between them to see who will be the first to show his ass in public.
Heyyyyy...have you ever seen them in the same place at the same time??? And what about fishyfishfishfish?
Bad race
In the 22 months I have been here as registered, I have posted 134 posts.
There have been well over 3000 articles posted in the last 22 months.
134 posts.
I am relatively quiet.
It is the voice I leave in people's heads (rent-free) that gives the illusion of a much, much larger presence.
LOL, Anon is offended!!
LOL,

LOL, Patricia is defending misogynists!
LOL, Patricia is defending misogynists! Never change, Patricia.
How is he racist and
How is he racist and homophonic? It’s humorous that many people who think Trump is intolerant are themselves intolerant of anyone who doesn’t politically agree. You must have met thousands of “racists” throughout your life, huh? You sure have met lots of people! How can you respect diversity if you can’t respect people with different views? If being PC means having vulgar words on signs then I truely have gotten lost in today’s world...
Goddamnit you guys
I'm sure everyone is sick of posting this URL over and over, but here it is again.

Lol
Your username explains everything we need to know about your ability to understand complex issues like racism.
Factose intolerance
So sorry that you have a problem with reality.
Stay on subject
How capecoddah dances or moves is not part of this discussion.
Chicks?
Did you fall asleep in 1972 and just today wake up?
Simple explanation
He knows that times have moved on. He's just a shit-stirrer. That's all he does and it's the only reason why he's here, to stir shit for his own amusement. He adds nothing.
Fantastic!
This is great archival stuff.
As a woman I find these
As a woman I find these signs to be silly and ridiculous. In my opinion, those women portray every misogynist stereotype of women!
They looked like a bunch of hysterical women that couldn't handle the reality that their favorite candidate lost the election (most of them). Others were there just to bitch about something. Remind me again, what is their complaint? Am I missing something? Am I oppressed and don't even know it? When did that happen?
No, I find this nonsense just the opposite of empowerment. Pussy hats? Really?
I would in no way ever want to be part of such a thing, I've no time nor patience for such delusional hysteria.
Now you want to talk about women that really made a change that enabled me to raise a family on my own, buy a house on my own, support myself and my family and be able to do whatever I want, when I want, sure, I'll gladly have that conversation. But, these women aren't that.
Ah yes
We have now heard from our local chapter president of Ladies Against Women.
Sigh.
Nailed it
Phyllis Schlafly reincarnated. A clueless, self-victimizing, colonized mind seeking the approval of the system that oppresses her. Pathetic.
Nope,
Nope,
That's your opinion and you're welcome to it, just as I am mine. My opinion is backed up by my life experiences, can't argue with that.
Awwww, sorry I hurt your little feelings
