Vashta, I'm not saying it never happened, and I shouldn't have implied that in my first post, but in the US it was never a mass protest phenomenon, as it was portrayed by chauvinists in the media, and it began with an inaccurate report of the 1968 Miss America protest. For my source, check the link I provided. It's actually of interest how the meme got started I csn add that my feminist friends and feminists whose work I read at the time were furious at this misrepresentation of their cause. Do you have any information about that photo, by the. way?
