Authoritarianism014 Archivesethno-nationalism is on the rise in Washington, and Americans are fighting back the best way they know: by mass-producing pink knit cat-shaped pussy hats.

In the past few months, pink pussy hats have become the unofficial symbol of the resistance to Trump. Ride on a DC subway or head to your local town hall meeting and there'll you find a coven of delightfully angry women in pink hats, ready to push a flyer into your hand, scream at some weak-kneed Congressman and knit as long as it takes until freedom rings.

It's a gorgeous thing. It's also not for everybody.

If you want to fight Trumpism but you just can't bring yourself to wear a cat/metaphorical vagina on your head, we understand. We love 'em, but that doesn't mean we can't have some personalized alternatives too:

You love the pussy hat movement, but you're just not ready to wear a metaphorical vagina with cat ears on your head. Why not apply the same aesthetic to your most *critical* accessory, and put your politics where you put your pennies?

Everyone's got their own personal pussy style. Everyone.
