We're there any females amongst the Hate Paraders yesterday?

I haven't seen any but I didn't watch it live. Okay a little bit on-line but not all day.

It looked like a bunch of dumpy pasty white* males.

*its August, you should have some sort of tan going. Something. Unless you didn't go to beach week so you could make the trip to Whitestock or Pallidpalooza or you literally never get out of the house.

It looked to me that the women who were there were with their nazi significant other - and while the majority of their number was 20's 30's age range dudes the women were often older looking. Not to be too denigrating , but the ones I spotted often looked to have been possible extras from the biker show Sons Of Anarchy. I assume that those couples have some of the same toxic notions of female subservience too. Maybe that is another reason they largely stayed home.

Only saw one on Friday night. From the various videos of the Nazis, et al marching in on Saturday, it looked like 2-3% were women, certainly less than 5%.

I asked my husband if he noticed anything unusual about the crowd. Well no, he did not. I did. I searched for women. During the time they were filming them walking in small bunches between the bushes and police I counted. I saw maybe 1 in 30. Now this is hardly anything to base much on but that is what I saw.

I am always surprised to see women there at all. I know some people who are like this, their women are as mean as the men and they are armed to the teeth with loaded weapons and their mouths, boy can they let fly with some horrible stuff. It always makes me wonder why they are there. Do they not know that none of this is about them (except to protect them from the hoards of other men out to take advantage of their gloriousness)? If these men win those women will be living lives of the misery of misuse, no choices, certainly no weapons, and the same lot they would if their men's paranoid thoughts had come true and those "other" men had gotten them. Along with all the hatred of other races comes the requirement that their women serve them.

There were a lot of women on the other side however.

I have to believe most women are smarter than that.
