The #Resistance revolution continues eating its own. Yesterday’s social justice mandate is today’s problematic issue and tomorrow’s bigoted no platform position. The arc of history always bends toward the guillotine. And identity politics works until you run out of other people.
And thus the tragedy of the left catches up to the most iconic garb of the #Resistance.
A year ago, they stormed the streets of big cities and small towns to make their views known: Women’s rights are human rights. Many wore on their heads what became the de-facto symbol of feminism in 2017, the pink pussyhat.
That’s stupid enough. But the left never settles for stupid enough. It’s always got to take its stupid to the next level.
But this time when marchers take to the streets in cities from Lansing to Las Vegas, there could be fewer pink pussyhats in the crowds.
The reason: The sentiment that the pink pussyhat excludes and is offensive to transgender women and gender nonbinary people who don’t have typical female genitalia and to women of color because their genitals are more likely to be brown than pink.

Everything in the left exists in two phases.
1. It’s revolutionary
2. It’s racist
The state and national organizations, she said, have tried “to move away from the pussyhats for several months now, and are not making it the cornerstone of our messaging because … there’s a few things wrong with the message.
What exactly was the message, except, “We’re embarrassing idiots. Please join our cause.”.
The color pink was chosen “because pink is associated with femininity,” the Pussyhat Project posted on its website. “We did not choose the color pink as a representation of some people’s anatomy. Anyone who supports women’s rights is welcome to wear a Pussyhat. It does not matter if you have a vulva or what color your vulva may be. If a participant wants to create a Pussyhat that reflects the color of her vulva, we support her choice.”
