Christian crosses are now misogynistic, apparently. Where do progressives get this stuff?

Students protest ‘misogynistic’ pro-life display

Pro-abortion students at Auburn University held a counter-protest on Wednesday against a pro-life display of crosses on the grounds that it was “misogynistic” and “sham[ed] women’s reproductive choices.”

Auburn University’s Students for Life (SFL) created a “Cemetery of the Innocents” earlier this week: 150 white crosses on the university’s lawn, each cross representing 20 lives lost to abortion. And it was those white crosses—not the pro-life message itself—that had another group of students up in arms.

“[The group of students] weren’t directly protesting against the pro-life argument, but they thought the display was shaming women’s reproductive choices,” Wesley Nelson, Auburn’s SFL president, told Campus Reform in an interview.

Nelson told Campus Reform that the counter-protest, a “Lives Lost to Misogyny” rally, included students holding signs representing other various issues that the pro-life students agreed with, such as suicide prevention, domestic violence awareness, and preventing hate crimes.

The demonstration isn’t about whether or not you agree with abortion, it’s about making people feel ashamed about their actions, Megan Skipper, an Auburn junior, told The Auburn Plainsman.

According to the Plainsman, the “Lives Lost to Misogyny” protest was a result of a men and masculinities class taught by Prof. Andrea Baldwin in the women’s studies department.

“I think these crosses are misogynistic because they’re shaming women for having abortions,” Imani Tucker, a senior, told the Plainsman. “We felt that since this happens every year, there’s a lot of misinformation and shame associated with a display like this and we wanted to counter that.”
