Hi OP, + Hatrina..

Very nice thread -- and those pics are cool: about the pussy control... cool..

In Europe we are surprised and shocked by the US election.

Trump what a complete FOOL,

He is talking bullsh*t about all other people even in his own republican party,

Such a fool, so shocking the next 4 years are gonna be nerve breaking, world peace, world economy is gonna be threatened by this no-brainer.

Businessman, he knows zero about politics so it seems.

the europeans are very concerned right now, he is a dangerous man, unreliable.

Prince stayed out of taking sides for the most part but if you think he wasn't political listen to all his music and read the lyrics.

I wish they would have kept Prince signs out of this. I don't even know exactly what these marches were about. If it's people upset that their political party lost in November then maybe they need to do a better job of getting out the vote everywhere and not just racking up huge margins in places they would have won anyway.

i think it's kind of about the fact that the man who has just assumed the mantle of 'leader of the free world' is on record as saying that it is okay to grab women by the pussy whenever he's inclined to do so...if i were a lady, i might too think it worth showing in force that i was digusted with the choice of the nation.

Thank you. Y'all come next time. Women need support too.

WAS the cutest poster hook ever. Con-trol !!!

Those are some cool posters. I can't say I'm really a fan of the song itself here but it's nice to see thr message appear on current political protest posters, even if it's partly in jest.

--Prince was political so I have no idea where this is coming from.

I agree laurarichardson.

Also, Rogifan, I hope you are a man because if you dont know what the marches were about as a woman then that is

The signs were fabulous.

A great homage to Prince.

Prince's music was very political whether we like it or not. He created songs about racism, misogyny, "don't ask, don't tell" policy, Asperger's acceptance, natural hair appreciation, body positivity, religions... Bringing him up in marches or demos is inevitable.

Please. He wasn't brought up because of any of that. It was solely because he had a song with the word "pussy" in the title.

Are you the person holding the banner? Or have you spoken to them?

This is a moral issue with Trump, so Pussy Control is a damn fine antithetical message to the amoral message that says, sexually assault a woman, no big deal. Pussy Control is perfect in this context, and I for one and damn glad to see that some women in the protests understood this. From the looks of the signs I would say that the women wielding them knew exactly what the song is about.

Exactly! And there's the fact that Prince does have another song with "pussy" in the title but for the context, neither the song nor the title worked. Hence, no signs of it. So this clearly just wasn't about use of the word "pussy".

Perfect! They did good!!!

Okay--now we KNOW that Prince lies deep in the social consciousness of our society!

Power to the people--Aouwah!

I think Prince would this!!!

After all, Prince did write, record and perform the... HIS... song, "Pussy Control".

My bad.

And he wrote the song WE MARCH. He wasn't talkin about no parade, see lyrics.

I think it's more clever than that. Prince has well earned appreciation from a wide spectrum of women and the song is a Princely attempt at female empowerment.

these signs were great ..Pussy Control is a song about a women who becomes her own...she rises above ridicule takes charge gets a education and indeed has "Pussy Control"...in response to our president who was taped saying Grab them by the Pussy....well well well.......I was there.
