What is your opinion on the author of a news article, and what is your stance on the use of pink hats as a symbol of solidarity amongst women?
It isn't clear why you attack the story's author.  This wasn't an op-ed piece.  It was a news article that told as much as could be discovered about the story -- so far.
I like the silly pink hats, they show a solidarity among women that I applaud.  No one should have to worry about getting their pussy grabbed.
