As a conventionally attractive woman: I went to one protest in college, about something i believed in, and quickly realized it was just assholes. People who wanted the experience, like what their parents did in the 70s. And neckbeard types who were there because they knew women would be there. I lean more conservative now, and I donate cash or work behind the scenes/in the office to make things happen. Because especially in the internet age, no one needs a protest to 'raise awareness.' Get a Twitter, already.
