pink pussy hat project--what do YOU think?

No, I remembered that. But I just think it was silly. And I know quite a few women who remarked that they supported the march, but the hats made them uncomfortable or who couldn't take it seriously.

I cannot imagine why I would ever want to embrace a demeaning, pornographic term for my genitalia. Nor would I ever wish to reduce myself to either that term or to my genitals. I would resent the fuck out of anyone else doing it -- certainly I was deeply offended when Trump did it -- so I cannot think why I'd do it myself. I define myself by my brain, my heart and my words, not my labia.

Nor is there a world where I'd wear a pink fuzzy hat with ears -- at least, not since I graduated from kindergarten.

If I wear a hat when I march, it will more likely be a black fedora. I like fedoras. I like black.

ETA:

The last thing in the world I want to see is the word "pussy" for a woman's genitals made acceptable.  I loathe it more than I can express.  As far as I'm concerned, bringing the word into popular parlance is a win for Trump.

I'll reappropriate the Mar-a-lago club instead.

Sure, it's in movies, but it is most certainly NOT acceptable in any circles I run in. It is not how any woman I know talks about her genitals (except perhaps to her lover -- I cannot say, since I am not privy to such conversations).

I really fucking hate it, and so do a lot of women. Some of us (I am one) do not like our lovers using it either, and I'm absolutely not alone here. And as far as talk that isn't in bed -- I have never heard one of my friends refer to her genitalia as her pussy. Seriously. Not one. I've heard them use cutesy terms like vajayjay and woo-ha (I dislike those, too, though in a different way), but not "oh, I'm going to get my pussy waxed." or "I'm going to the pussy doctor." Never.

I would bet you money that while Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton will almost certainly get involved in movements over the next few years, we won't see either of them wearing pussy hats or "reclaiming" the word pussy. Neither will I be seeing any of my real life friends and colleagues doing so.

We could make them from the flayed skin of men who referred to our poissants as "pussies."

We could add feathers or beads or some such.

Oh, I am totally on board with this.

And I'm sure Angie will like it.  At the very least, she'll enjoy flaying people.

Can we do that with racial double entendres?

There are blacks who've tried to reclaim the word "nigger," and blacks who can't stand hearing it, even from other black people. Do you find the latter group laughable and worthy of mockery?
