“10 Chaises” by Dominique Erhard is a small pop-up book originally made for kids highlighting 10 iconic chairs from the past century. Originally released in 2016 and re-published in 2022.
Women’s March events were held all over the country in response to recent efforts by right-wing radicals to use the rigged judicial system to restrict the rights of women. Here in New York City, a large rally and march was organized. The rally began in Foley Square where participants listened to guest speakers and musical performances.
Several of the guest speakers urged everyone present to vote out any politician who is not staunchly supportive of women’s rights. Other speakers pointed out that the Supreme Court has been compromised by right-wing radical judges and should be expanded during the Biden Presidency to restore balance to the institution.
After the rally, the group took to the streets, marching from Foley Square to Washington Square Park.
The weather once again favored liberal New Yorkers, with an unusually warm October day featuring bright sunshine and temperatures nearing 80F (27C) degrees.
On the “don’t watch it if it offends you!” argument:
“Closing your eyes will not prevent women from being raped, battered, or tortured by intimate partners being inspired and impelled by pornography. Nor will it help adolescent girls forced out on streets, coerced into imitating pornography upon thousands of clients’ requests, to escape the sexual abuse. Defining harm as an offence to observers silences and denies these women their rights.”
—Max Waltman, “Rethinking Democracy: Legal Challenges to Pornography and Sex Inequality in Canada and the United States.” (2010).
