“Put yourself in someone’s place.” if the phrase “put yourself in someone else’s shoes” was known, it is shown a little less. This is what dozens of Americans were forced to do this Friday, October 13, in Georgia. Young, old, policemen, students, businessmen… the range of protesters was wide. According to the media Feminist, at the forefront of all gender issues, the idea is to fight “by walking against gender stereotypes”. Moreover, the march has many purposes: educational, protest, but also performance art. Or how to complain while having fun with a “happening” going around the world.
