I organized a protest against the shriners circus in my city. Where I live doesn't have a strong animal rights community, so people here aren't used to seeing animal rights posts. It was a small protest that went well and most people were positive towards us (even the police were really cool). However three women got very verbally abusive towards me one woman got right in my face and said "I'm about to get all big on you" so I said "Ok, but if you hit me in front of your child you're setting a horrible example, also I will not hit you back I'm non-violent." One of her friends told me "the way you're dressed (I was wearing shorts, swim suit top and red paint) I hope you get raped, a little skank like you deserves it" She said this in front of her daughter! And I was like "Victim blaming, very mature. I feel sorry for your daughter, have a nice day you pretentious..." I stopped myself from name calling mid sentence and I was like "wow your lucky I dont feel like teaching your children how to swear" and I walked away. I was really hoping an elephant would trample these three women but no such luck.

You did a good job of keeping your temper with them.

It was either walk away or become a violent hypocrite.

Handled very well, but sheesh, that right there is a good snapshot of what's wrong with the world.
