It is beyond silly to buy some shoes to support Wendy Davis’s heroic fight against barbarity. If you support her cause, what is the point of lining the pockets of some anti-choice miscreant?
If your idea of activism is buying stuff, there is something definitely wrong going on. All you do is purchase an image of yourself as politically active. And that’s all kinds of stupid. What’s next? A Che Guevara T-shirt? Oh, wait. . .
And in this case, this is not even a “wearing activism” because this is only about copying a style.
