"You said it all in those Womens March signs"

Joan Wickersham's column in the Boston Globe today:
https://www.bostonglobe.com/opinion/2017/01/25/you-said-all-those-women-march-signs/8LkyVPCzwtfoa17s9fea9O/story.html

This is a good reference if you're stumped for a poster idea for the next march!

I went to the Boston march on Saturday planning to write an opinion piece. But as I watched the signs go by, I realized that tens of thousands of people had already gotten together and written it. Here’s what they had to say:

Women’s rights are human rights • Science is not a liberal hoax. Go back to school, Donald • Keep Planned Parenthood funded • Trump has more temper tantrums than my 3-year-old sister. • Decency must prevail • Respect existence or expect resistance • Stop truth decay ... more at link above

was one that was carried by a few different men. It said, "I'm With Her!" and then had like 10 or 12 arrows pointing all over the place at the women who were there. I loved that one.

Mine was white and it just said "Hillary" in pink letters. I painted it to look like her signature.

I also saw a touching one, held by a man with a baby in a carrier on his chest: "4 My Wife, My Mom, My Daughters." He was just standing by the side of the street (in Atlanta) as the marchers filed past. And of course the old favorite: "Men of Quality Don't Fear Women's Equality."

It was made out of crumpled cardboard with tears and poor hand writing in black marker read:

My sign is not very good, neither is our president
