Some of us are really passionate about our interests... Have you ever been involved in a protest? What were you standing up for? Did you get results?

Have you ever seen protesters? How do you feel about them?
 
I haven't.

I guess that means I don't care about anything. I can accept that. I will admit that when I see things like, "I Survived The American Holocaust," I want to beat that person remorselessly with a lead-pipe because of how goddamn stupid and pompous they are, but other than that, protesting doesn't really bother me.
 
There are protests, and protesters.

And then there is stupidity.

Some filibuster abortion bills, some march against them, and some wear tampons on their ears.

On her MSNBC show Sunday morning, Melissa Harris-Perry brought attention to Texas’ recently-passed abortion regulations—and the burnt orange-clad demonstrators who had fought their passage—in her own way: with a pair of homemade tampon earrings.

“My producer Lorena made for me last week some tampon earrings,” Harris-Perry said as she put on the jewelry. “The Texas state legislature said that you couldn’t bring tampons in, when these women were going to, in fact, stand up for their own reproductive rights.”
