Women's March

in Oakland (Sa 1/20/'18)
10a-3p

I'm going, tomorrow, with Sara Pierre n Augie to partake in the festivities-
I'm told to bring a sign, so I've been thinking of various pithy slogans
kinda like bumper-sticker sayings:

First, I thought I'd say: Everyone is half female! (kind of)
but Sara nipped that in the bud, saying it was offensive, that
"half-woman" takes away from what the march is about,
nameley "women have it a million times harder than men"
(I still think it's worth thinking about)

Then, running it by my friend Julie, she recommended:
"your mom may have been a woman"
which I thought was both funny, and stupidly obvious:
sex: female, of course
but gender: your mom may have been a man!
Sara approved of this one.

Finally, after asking google if everyone was half woman,
I got the response that everyone has 23 pairs of chromosomes,
the 22 are the same for men and women, but the 23rd-
is either xy (male) or xx (female) (usually)
so I thought I'd make mine XX, or XX power!, or
Roaring XXs (punning on roman numerals, and the roaring 20's)

So, anyway, I guess men are 45/46 woman
just as women are 45/46 men!
which is a weird perspective I haven't seen anywhere,
but seems like a fun frame of mind to go to the march with.
