Protesting doesn't pay the rent or put food on the table.

Very poor, John. Sorry. If everyone thought that way nothing would ever get done. We need firebrands. We need rebels. If you are so concerned with putting food on their table, sponsor them or help them. Don't give us the usual capitalist platitudes. You can protest better from a position of power and that is where lots of women are. Stop sucking up to male dominated press. Stop pandering to the fashion industry. It's the only way anything will get done, Brothers! And Sisters... :-)
