In reply to the discussion: 'Handmaid's Tale' Protesters Demonstrate Outside Amy Coney Barrett's Home [View all]UT_democrat
(143 posts)33. Many others feel the same as you apparently
I've seen lots of pushback for the "dressup" aspect of the Handmaids Tale costumes. Specifically from WOC. Some see it as roleplay for white women (I personally disagree.) I think we can all agree that WOC will be the hardest hit, but to me its still primarily a human (woman's) rights issue above all else. Turning it into a racial issue doesn't seem that smart when you have white men and women standing alongside WOC to protest this SCOTUS abomination. AND ALL women, regardless of color, will be affected by this.
Obviously as an old white dude I can't imagine the very real fear that this is causing in WOC but maybe don't cast off allies when the fight is far from over?
Just my 2¢

OP
Did you object to the "pussy hats" at the first Women's March? Visuals are vitally important...

Religious nuts are the worst. The root cause of so many of our world's problems.
