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.

what a bunch of hypocrites... they complain that they are more than just body parts... T and A... and the V... and yet--they do this...

pink--especially lighter shades... pale pink--is my favorite color, and i am annoyed that Code Pink, Breast Cancer Awareness and now this group have hijacked the color... mis dos centavos... adelante, gente...

First it was safety pins, now knitted pink hats.

No wonder normal people can't take them seriously.

Hallmark of Leftist Regressives — totally focused on what’s going on between their legs.

How about you worthless airheads spend a few days working in a soup kitchen instead if you actually want to accomplish something? Repeal the 19th Amendment...it’s obvious too many women can’t handle the responsibility.

"Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything."

It worked for Clinton. In some cases, both of them. Of course; they're democrats, and that's 'different'.
