Lots of supportive honks and thumbs up from people after they read the signs the women were holding. Most people in the Bay Area don't buy gender ideology.
My initial thought was the opposite - people in SF have met enough TIMs to realize they're pornsick fetishists, but elsewhere they're still buying the narrative of them being poor oppressed victims of being born in the wrong body, facing irrational hate from bible-thumping bigots.
Attitudes are changing. The people of San Francisco have recalled the city attorney, because he was so progressive, he wouldn’t do anything to address crime. A couple of school board members were voted out, because the board was deciding which schools would be renamed because the names were politically incorrect. This was during Covid when parents wanted the schools to reopen.
Need a break from all the depressing things about being a woman in this world? This circle is for you!
This circle is for celebrating all the good news relating to women's interests (and by all, we mean ALL, even the things you might disagree with, e.g. achievements or advancements for women in the military, business, religion, etc.)
Rules:
Relevance: Women should be the primary focus. Posts about men being held accountable, found guilty of crimes, etc. are NOT appropriate for this circle.
Formatting: Posts should be actual news, preferably in the form of an article or from an official news source. Do not edit the headline of linked articles; if you would like to provide additional commentary, please do so in a comment.
Civility: Keep discussions on topic. Do not denigrate the achievements or advancements of women.
Promoting Infighting or Drama: Do not start or perpetuate infighting or drama. Disagreements must be civil and must be about the CONTENT of the post, not about the poster, other commenters, the site, etc.

I think you are right, but I also think attitudes are changing rapidly.
