Conservative backlash to the women's march - it gets personal

After I posted photos of my friends and I wearing our pussy hats at the women's march, along with some of the more clever signs, my conservative ("libertarian" since Trump won the GOP nomination) mother posted on FB that she must be among the privileged few as she never felt put down because of being a woman and learned early in life to turn off any possible sexual harassment. She says she has a right to believe what the Bible teaches about anything -- including the murder of unborn children -- in reference to the march. Her post included a truly bizarre video from someone who calls herself the Activist Mommy. She knows I have a serious #metoo experience that I didn't feel like sharing publicly while everyone else was relating their stories. I'm offended and, yes, wounded by this.
