Pussyhat news part 3
The first one I gave away was to a young woman in the Toronto airport who'd been at the Washington march but didn't get a hat. The Iceland Air flight attendants asked us (we were miraculously bumped up to "Saga Class" and had hovering attendants) about the hats. We explained that they demonstrated support for women's rights and resistance to Donald Trump. One of the women said "You know, he said some very rude things about women,," and when I told her that they were called pussyhats for that very reason, she laughed as much as a Viking can.
On the Iceland Air flight to Heathrow (where we were unfortunately not bumped up and it was hell I tell you) I sat next to a drunk Icelandic schoolteacher, who asked about my hat. I told her, and she said "Trump said he would grab women by their pussy!" so I gave her and one of her colleagues (they were on their way to a conference in Bristol) hats.
In London, we got friendly smiles at our hats, but when we went to Bath, a woman came up to us on the street and asked if they were pussyhats. We said yes, and she asked if she could take a picture. Of course we said yes, and then I asked her if she'd like to have my hat. She was really very happy to have it, immediately plopped it on her head and walked away.
