An Irish woman has withdrawn the “pussy hat” knitting pattern which she had posted online as a service to fellow female protesters preparing for President Trump’s visit to Ireland in November: woke activists had pointed out to her that some women have penises, not vaginas.
I won’t be making pussy hats. I’m deleting the pattern I posted. I am really sorry for upsetting people, I’ve read, listened and learned and while it was not intentional it was thoughtless. I will make some hats with yellow roses instead.

Katherine’s noble, thoughtful, caring decision has been respected by some:
If there is one thing you are not it is thoughtless! If you’re taking orders for yellow rose hats I’d love one.

But not, unfortunately, by everyone.
You people need help. Seriously.

Make pussy hats but with big willys coming out the top. More inclusive
