=The Secret Jewish History Of The Pussyhat==

While supporters of Donald Trump sport red baseball hats with the promise to “Make America Great Again,” Trump’s opponents have their own signature piece of headwear: the pink pussyhat. The hand-knit hat with cat ears designed by Jayna Zweiman, 38, and her friend Krista Suh has become a recognized symbol of dissent. It is also, according to Zweiman, her personal act of tikkun olam.

All four of Zweiman’s grandparents emigrated from Eastern Europe and while they made every attempt to assimilate, they told their granddaughter about what they endured. Zweiman’s grandfather had to wait eight years for a visa. Her grandmother, a refugee after World War I, subsisted for several months on potatoes.

“I know so many families have these same stories,” Zweiman told me. “It’s just proof that people deserve dignity, respect and safety. That’s the American dream and it has always been a big part of my life.”

Originally from Newton, Massachusetts, Zweiman was educated at a Solomon Schechter elementary school, and attended Brown University where she majored in economics and the visual arts and began experimenting with yarn in art installation projects. During her gap year, she worked in Washington, D.C. on Bill Clinton’s reelection campaign. She received her master’s in architcure from Harvard Graduate School for Design.

“Pussyhat combines politics, art, design, community building and more. My life’s work led to this point at the exact time when the world needed it,” she says.

Established, happily married and working in new media in Los Angeles, Zweiman’s world was turned upside down three years ago when she suffered a severe concussion after a freak accident while shopping with her husband. A metal rod that wasn’t properly secured to the wall fell on her. The aftermath was devastating. No work. No travel. No good. Knitting became Zweiman’s go-to activity during her recovery and local yarn store The Little Knittery in Atwater Village her safe haven. There, she and Suh learned to knit together and reveled in the quiet conversation of a knitting circle.

That quiet soon erupted. Just two days after the election, Zweiman and Suh began discussing ways to get involved in the Women’s March. As Zweiman was healing slowly, there was no way she could physically be in Washington DC. Or New York. Or Helsinki. Or any of the other 600 marches where people gathered to protest the Trump agenda. She sympathized with others who couldn’t join in, and sought to give those people a way into the protest.

“Going through this experience opened my eyes to ideas about accessibility. It’s our responsibility to create opportunities for everyone,” she said.

Zweiman and Suh brainstormed pattern ideas with Little Knittery owner Kat Cole. They agreed that the goal wasn’t either perfect hats or expensive hats. They just wanted people to be able to participate. Keeping the pattern as simple as possible, knitters were asked to make hats and give them away to friends, family and local yarn stores where they could be picked up for free. Choosing a name for the project was easy (thank you Mr. President). And aesthetically, the color pink would reclaim the power of femininity. Jayna herself dreamed of a sea of pink. That “beautiful cohesive image,” as she described it, would create a true sense of unity.

The women went to social and traditional media to spread the word. Once posted on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and free online knitting community Ravelry, the project went viral. Even as it reached across the county and globe, Zweiman was still wary. Neither web site metrics, nor their Pussyhat tracker were precise indicators of how many hats were in circulation. In advance of the march, Zweiman and her partners were told that 12,000 hats had passed through the Pussyhat DC affiliate. Not until posts popped up of Washington-bound busloads of Pussyhat wearers did Zweiman realize her pink sea was possible.

And so we arrive at January 21, 2017.

Forget sea or even sea to shining sea. On the day of the Women’s March, the entire world was blanketed in pink, cat-eared hand-knit hats. Overnight, the Pussyhat became an iconic image of the new resistance. The hat has appeared on the covers of The New York Times Magazine, Time Magazine and the New Yorker and also found its way onto the heads of Amy Schumer, Cate Blanchett, Missoni models at Milan Fashion Week and the “Make Way for Ducklings” statues on the Boston Common.

Zweiman and her partners are now developing their long-term strategy, including partnering with the Women’s March and Indivisible. As planning continues, so does the actual knitting. Calling it “her own Shabbat,” Zweiman spends most Friday evenings back at The Little Knittery. And with just thirty-something days of our new administration behind us, Zweiman wants the millions of Pussyhat wearers to keep their ears handy. Next up is International Women’s Day on March 8th. Pussyhat is encouraging people to “wear, share and declare,” that is, put their hats back on and upload pictures to #pussyhatglobal to create sea of pink number two. This “global virtual march” is another opportunity for people to connect and feel part of something bigger than themselves.

Zweiman says, “We want to create a movement, not a moment. There’s been such a strong sense of isolation throughout the election cycle. This project is about bringing people together.”

That's nice. Pigs wearing lipstick finally admitting they are swine.

It never stops being funny.

Not sure if this is worth a thread even had you not fucked that up. Just seems like kikes trying to take credit for some stupid shit leftists think is "progress" and "barrier breaking" or whatever other stupid shit

...

Oh look, it was the Jews. Again.

~7 years ago I'd have gotten excited at yet another piece of evidence of kikes ruining literally everything, but shit like this doesn't even get a rise out of me anymore. At this point it's basically just: Yep, water is wet.

Holla Forums was right again!

...

Yeah, there comes a point when you get numb to it.

Jesus user spoiler that shit

Try harder OP

On the bright side, the main body of women who knit, crochet, and spin are white women who lean towards traditionalism. The website Ravelry, which aggregates patterns and can be used as a social network among other things, had 6 million users as of January 2016, and only 4,577 members joined the "Pussyhat Project" user group. A cursory glance at members shows shitlib and nonwhite undesirables spread thin across America, Canada, and Europe.
As with any interest that attracts decent white people, the fiber arts community has been inundated over the past decade with jews and gays.
If it's okay to punch people with Trump hats, is it also okay to punch pussyhat wearers?

...

This is a Jewish trick, right? Making things larger than they actually are.

Once in a while, could we please have a nefarious, subversive plot that's hatched by Suriname? Tajikistan? Canada? Maybe an actual plot by Russia instead of imaginary bullshit in the Fake News? Does it always have to be the Jews behind everything bad? It's so predictable that it's becoming boring.

I don't mind the pussyhats. They're just another self-labeling signal, like problem glasses, fish-mouthes, dyed / lesbian butch hair, (((echos))), etc that make it easier to know who to avoid. Also, who not to tip, hire, or generally give any assistance or aid to.

Ethically, of course it is. The problem is the police are forever pozzed, and will do everything they can to protect the liberal filth.

hear hear

The hat makes them look like pigs. Not metaphorically, but like a real fucking farm animal.

I'm convinced this world is like a reality show. Sort of like a soap opera, except the main antagonist in every episode are random Jewish people cooking up crazy schemes and plots.

I'd like to make some changes to the plot.

of course it is.

because they wear a pink hat, they think that they can change the machinations of reality. Even the mudslimes are much smarter than them.

...

BET THEY FAKED IT

...

Gets me every time… xD

Don't get too close to her, or you'll get bit.

EVERY FUCKING TIME

T'aint a vagina. That's a pig hat.

Is black pussy pink? Isn't this another case of racist white feminism?

The true origin of the pussyhat: it came from Nobue Ito's closet and was worn by Matsuri Sakuragi.

Thirded

...

How long does that take? I'm asking on behalf of a friend who goes into migraine-inducing rages every time he sees that (((they've))) once again done slimy, evil shit to our civilization.

I'm the friend.

>"NEXT TIME ON THE JEW!"

but jews are always getting a little digusting

my goodness

Every cuck in America should be forced to wear this hat as a scarlet letter.

We should kick this hornet's nest.

can we get them to sue?

I'm not even anti-Semitic but why for the love of God do Jews need to include their religion in every political act.

reported

wew

That's not a kike nose. Kike noses are hooked AND they hang down. Also that creature's jaw isn't fucked up like a kike jaw. Its brows are not kike brows. It's just a brainwashed libcuck with an unfortunate case of man nose.

On a fairly related note, see included picture. Kikes have distinctly different brows and eye distance ratios.

Did their website get hacked?

Ahhh…. so you're starting to feel it. The redpill is starting to kick in…..

Hmmmm…. why DO they include their religion in every political act ? And…. well why do they then sometimes turn around and HIDE their religion when they commit political acts ?

she's the third form of an animorphs cover

Nice

CAPTAIN OBVIOUS, ANY SUBVERSIVE MOVEMENT DIRECTED TOWARDS GENTILES IS INDEED A JEW TRADITION, SAGING ALL AND EVERY CUCKCHAN THREAD

I hope they keep wearing them it's an easy red flag to spot

Is that better or worse than my mouth foaming state of absolute abhorrence?

Oh, she came here legally? She should support Trump, then.

Oh, wait, she only knows what she heard from the media.
