On Tuesday, Poe posted on the shop’s Facebook page that following this past weekend’s Women’s March on Washington, D.C., she would prefer that participants and supporters of the protest and its efforts not patronize her shop.
“The vulgarity, vile and evilness of this movement is absolutely despicable. That kind of behavior is unacceptable and is not welcomed at The Joy of Knitting. I will never need that kind of business to remain open,” Poe writes. “As the owner of this business and a Christian, I have a duty to my customers and my community to promote values of mutual respect, love, compassion, understanding, and integrity. The women’s movement is counterproductive to unity of family, friends, community, and nation.”
I respect that right. However, this is an invitation for harassment.
Shouldn't be. One should be able to take a stand, even against those pigs and not fear harassment, but you are probably right as plenty of them sure have shown themselves to be quite thuggish.
Ok. But it would have been better if she posted this BEFORE the march so people would have known not to buy the yarn for their hats there.
LOL. So she takes this high and mighty moral stand against the march only AFTER she's made her money off of it first. Nice.
