Everyone has something to say about the Pussyhats! I've heard from a few people that didn't "get" that they were intended to look like cat ears, they heard the name and saw them as vulvas. This then becomes an interpretation that can't be dismissed. <br /><br />They did create instant camaraderie the day of the March. I see all kinds of people continue to wear them with pride, and I like that.

I knit five pussyhats (one for myself, my partner, my mother, my son's girlfriend, and his best friend), and we were at the march in Washington, too. I wore mine to work on the first day back and will wear it tomorrow in solidarity for International Women's Day (since I'm not going to strike). That said, I understand the hesitance or resistance to the hat, and I think that's part of activism. We don't need to all (literally) wear the same hat, but some of us like to know who's on our side, and there was energy at the rest stops on our way down when we saw other women proudly wearing their hats. And frankly, the message that is sent (as many articles/conversations like to unravel) is ultimately whatever the wearer wants to send (in my mind - I know there's more). I think having mixed feelings is great! It shows one is not blindly following some idea or concept, and I think that resistance needs and feeds off that. Keep questioning, and keep making!
